Alisson Santos vows to Sporting fans after Champions League debut | OneFootball

Alisson Santos made an impact on Sporting's game in the lions' victory against Kairat, by 4-1, last Thursday, September 18th. The Brazilian player came off the bench to replace Pedro Gonçalves and ended up scoring a goal, showing himself to be quite pleased.

"I think there was no better way to make my debut, I'm happy to debut like this. I'm living a dream, fulfilling a dream in my career and I'm happy for the whole team that achieved this victory, now it's about continuing to tread the path of victory," he stated, in the quick interview area, to Sport TV.

Next, the Sporting forward made a promise to the lion fans: "We have a very qualified group, with high-level athletes. Coming off the bench to help the team is very important. What can the fans expect from me? A player who goes forward, wants to score goals and help the team and, yes, to have more minutes [laughs]".

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

The green and white team will return to the field next Monday, September 22nd, against Moreirense, in a match related to the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 8:15 PM, at Estádio José Alvalade.
