Anderson Souza Conceição (born 1 February 1994), known as Talisca or Anderson Talisca, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Benfica and the Brazil Olympic team. He can play as an attacking midfielder or a forward.

Club career

Bahia

A youth graduate from Bahia, where he arrived in 2009, Talisca made his professional debut against Corinthians on 7 July 2013, and scored his first goal in the next match against São Paulo.[1][2]

Benfica

On 5 July 2014, after his debut season, Talisca moved to Portuguese champions Benfica for a €4 million fee, the highest paid for a Bahia player.[3][4] On 18 July 2014, he scored his first goal for Benfica on his debut in their Taça de Honra semi-final win against Estoril.[5] On 12 September, he scored a hat-trick for Benfica in an away victory against Vitória de Setúbal.[6] On 27 September, he scored two goals in a row against Estoril in an away win (3–2) and became the Primeira Liga's top goalscorer with five goals.[7] On 5 October, he scored his sixth goal in Portuguese league and maintained the top scorer lead.[8] On 31 October, he scored his eighth and fourth consecutive goal in Primeira Liga, in a home win against Rio Ave (1–0), keeping the top scorer lead.

On 4 November 2014, he scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League, the only goal of the game to defeat Monaco in the group stage. He described scoring the 82nd-minute goal as the "best feeling" in his life.[9]

International career

On 11 November 2014, Talisca was called up by Dunga to the Brazilian national team to replace Lucas Moura in the international fixtures against Turkey and Austria.[10]

Style of play

He has been nicknamed "Yaya Talisca" in reference to Ivorian midfielder Yaya Touré, but bases his game on that of his compatriot Neymar.[11] He is also compared to fellow Brazilian Rivaldo.[12]
