Happy at Sporting, Alisson Santos already picking sides at Alvalade | OneFootball

Alisson Santos was one of Sporting’s main highlights in the match against Estoril, which the Lions won 1-0, in a game valid for the seventh round of Liga Portugal Betclic. On that same day, the Brazilian celebrated his 23rd birthday, something that was recorded by the Alvalade Club.

“I’m happy to celebrate this birthday with the team. Thank God we got the three points and now we just have to keep going down this path,” said the player in the latest ‘Backstage Sporting’. In the same video, shared by the green and whites, you can see that Alisson gave the first slice of cake to Geovany Quenda, with whom he is already forming a friendship.

For now, the player is pleasing Rui Borges, which means he has featured in Sporting’s last five matches – Porto, Famalicão, Kairat, Moreirense, and Estoril – and in two of them, he even made his debut by scoring and assisting in the green and white shirt. Now, the coach’s goal is to work on the tactical aspect with the player.

Furthermore, it’s worth remembering that the young forward wants to play for the Brazilian national team. The player dreams of being called up to represent the Seleção, and the goal against Kazakhstan’s Kairat, in his Champions League debut, gives hope to that possibility.

Although he is a regular pick in Rui Borges’ squads, Alisson Santos – valued at 1.5 million euros – still hasn’t accumulated much playing time at the start of this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only played 49 minutes in six appearances, with one goal and one assist.
