Alisson Santos likens Sporting to Napoli: two teams that... | OneFootball

Alisson Santos recently made his debut for Napoli, in the match against Como, in a bittersweet game, as the southern Italian team was eliminated from the Coppa Italia. In an interview with CRC radio, the player spoke about the move to Naples and the debut with the new jersey, as well as the comparison to Sporting.

"I am very happy to be here, it is a dream for me. Napoli is a great club, I worked hard throughout my career to get here. I hope to help the club achieve our goals. The Italian championship is important and I already followed it before coming here", he began.

"The Portuguese championship is also important, I learned a lot at Sporting, both teams control the game a lot and maintain possession. The Italian championship is more technical and played with high intensity. Every day I work to improve in these aspects with the technical team and with coach Antonio Conte. And I think that, little by little, I am reaching the necessary level to help the team", he stated.

In the same statements, the Brazilian winger also recalled his previous experience at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, when he played there for the Lions in the Champions League: "Tuesday was my second time at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, because I had already played here with Sporting in the Champions League", said Alisson Santos.

"But playing for Napoli is an incredible feeling, feeling the passion of the Neapolitan fans. I am happy to debut with this jersey, but I am obviously sad about the result, because I am very ambitious and I don't like to lose, I wanted to advance in the tournament with the team. Now it's time to work and look to the future", he concluded.
