Sporting legend hopes star stays, says he doesn't want the club to sell | OneFootball

The Lions beat Nacional 2-1 in the 20th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The Brazilian Alisson Santos was once again decisive coming off the bench, providing the assist that Luis Suárez finished with precision. Carlos Severino, former candidate for the presidency of the Lions, admitted that he wants to see the winger continue at Alvalade.

"Another game not for the faint of heart. This way, Sporting is going to ruin our hearts, but if it serves to win the three-peat, that's fine! And I hope Sporting doesn't sell Alisson, because he comes on and solves it in five minutes," he said in an exclusive interview with the newspaper Record, about the victory in the final moments.

Another notable supporter who also rejects a sale of the forward to Napoli is Jaime Marta Soares, former president of the General Assembly. "Another victory with suffering, but also with the team believing. The win was fair. I used to say the same about Gyökeres and now I say that whoever has a Suárez... has everything! And if it were up to me, Alisson would stay at Sporting."

"It was the least accomplished game of the season, they played poorly and as the coach said, post-Champions is always harder. It was important to win, with a draw we could already say goodbye to the dream of the three-peat," commented former cyclist Marco Chagas, offering a more critical analysis of yesterday's match against Nacional.

The next match for the national two-time champions will be this Thursday, the 5th. The duel is against AVS, counting for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup. The stage will be the José Alvalade Stadium, and the ball will start rolling at 8:45 pm. If they go through, the Lions will face Porto.
