Alexsandro is preparing to set foot on the pitch at Anfield, Liverpool's legendary venue. A childhood dream for the Brazilian, whose youth was particularly difficult in Brazil.
From a favela in Rio de Janeiro, where he spent his childhood collecting plastic waste to recycle and resell, to the stars of the Champions League, Alexsandro (25 years old) is living a waking dream, alongside a linear progression, since his arrival at the Mastiffs. In the North, he arrived there from the Portuguese second division in July 2022 as a bet. Today, two years later, he is irremovable (1.91 meters, 92 kilos) in the Lille defense. He is preparing to experience a fiery duel against Liverpool, the best team on the continent.
Who would have believed it? That Alexsandro was going to oppose, after Real Madrid, a club of the caliber of Liverpool, especially at Anfield. It's simply “something sick” exclaimed the Brazilian a few days ago: “Like I told my friends, it’s sick. It's going to be very hot there. We're a little stressed about that, but I know we're going to have a great match, as usual.”he still said with confidence.
“Today, it’s clear. Liverpool is the best team in the world, the one that shows the best footballAlexsandro was already analyzing when LOSC still had to face AJ Auxerre (0-0). It's a hot match that everyone wants to play, me too. The whole team has worked hard for this and will give their all”he concluded. D-day has arrived for the Mastiffs, who face Liverpool this Tuesday, January 21. The kickoff for this meeting is scheduled for 9 p.m.
