Alisson Santos scored his debut goal for Sporting in a 4-1 victory over Kairat. The young forward has had a meteoric rise in the past year, jumping from Brazil's third division to the grand stages of the Champions League, which gives hope to his dream of making it to the canarinha squad.

According to information provided by Record newspaper, Alisson aspires to be called up by Brazil and the fact that he managed, within a year, to switch from Figueirense to União de Leiria before signing with Sporting and scoring in the Champions League is 'fuel' for the player.

Alisson is aware that he will have to work hard to continue to earn the trust of Rui Borges and is willing to make some sacrifices for this. In the summer, the forward cut his holidays short by two weeks to return to Portugal and start an individual training plan to be in top shape for Sporting's pre-season.

It's worth remembering that Messias, Alisson's father, was also a footballer and represented the Tunisian national team. Sporting's 'number 27' has the possibility of representing the African team, but prefers to wait and fulfill his dream of playing for Brazil.

Despite being a regular choice in Rui Borges' call-ups, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has not had much playing time at the start of this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only played 42 minutes, in four matches, with one goal scored.
