Alex Sandro Lobo Silva (born 26 January 1991) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Juventus and the Brazil national team.
At club level, Alex Sandro began his career with Atletico Paranaense, and later also played for Santos on loan. In 2011, he joined Porto for €9.6 million, alongside teammate and countryman Danilo, who plays as a right back. He joined Juventus in 2015, winning the domestic double in his first three seasons, followed by two more consecutive league titles over the following two years.
At international level, Alex Sandro represents Brazil, for which he has gained 30 caps. At youth level, he also represented the Brazil under-20 team, winning both the South American Youth Championship and the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2011, He was later also part of the Brazil squad that won the 2019 Copa America.
Regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world, Alex Sandro is a quick, energetic and offensive minded defender, who is also a strong tackler and a good reader of the game, courtesy of his speed and anticipation. He is capable of playing anywhere along the left flank; although mainly a full-back, he has also been used as a wing-back and as a wide midfielder. He has also occasionally been deployed in a more advanced position, as an outside forward or offensive winger, and even as a left-sided centre-back in a three–man back-line. He has been described as a player who is a "powerful runner, can beat opponents one-on-one and is an excellent crosser of the ball". His playing position, athleticism, and playing style have drawn comparisons with compatriot and 2002 FIFA World Cup-winner Roberto Carlos.<\/P>","F9622CC2808B37CB":"80kg","289C5F85E5EE1B609E88960AAED5C65D":"1991-1-26","31E4B7E841B17C66":"Alex Sandro Lobo Silva","C9B224F2C5B356EF":"Juventus","FD1933E1882D5E7A216F21827D2B22B4":"","95081CC600C137A3ECD07E1A2BAC6047":"12","76E5DE99890AB189":"180cm","3DD52A7123843A0599BD59EBE6AB4E97":"FC Porto","DAF09C52CF6076BDF21F9C2EFDD9E43065C5B3AC13FF9DA2":"1","26A41B77C025E2F442D11C4E5D31FCE8":"2","92D102DDE1327A88":"Alex Sandro Lobo Silva","B628C0FB460378A51A233D645651DF2F":"
