Mattheus Oliveira on his move to Alvalade

“I am really happy with this new challenge", said Mattheus Oliveira in an interview with the Sporting Journal this week, ahead of his first season in a Sporting CP shirt.

The former Estoril star is looking forward to getting down to work and proved fully aware of the pressure of playing in Alvalade: "Sporting CP is a gigantic club and this is a dream for me. I am really looking forward to starting training. I am excited about the chance to work with Jorge Jesus and I think his is one of the best coaches in the world. I am sure I will learn a lot with him. From what I have seen this is a really united squad and with hard work we will win a lot of titles. I have played in Alvalade for Estoril and the fans really get behind the team."
