A victory that is few and far between: “The challenge for this game was to play a game that we identified with and that represented what we are worth, not only in the offensive moment, which today was good, but fundamentally in behavior. The team had very good behavior throughout the game and goals remained to be scored, because a team that shoots so often had to score more goals. Furthermore, we couldn’t have conceded that goal either. We have to be regular throughout the game and always focused defensively. The penalty that gives them the goal doesn’t exists, but the move is born from an imbalance on our part that cannot happen. Overall, I am satisfied with the team’s performance, they played against Porto.”
Gabriel Mec’s 45 minutes: “His presence in this game represents what FC Porto’s project is. Having played 45 minutes has to do with managing the load in tune with team A, because physically he is perfect. We have many players who play for the under-19s and this is a challenge presented to team B, especially in the Youth League. I highlight the spirit and dedication with which he came and the way in which the team welcomed him. It is not easy to get here, play 45 minutes straight away and be well, this can only be achieved in an organized team with principles. There is a perfect and very organized symbiosis between the under-19s, the B team and the A team.”
André Miranda’s return from injury: “Miranda is Porto, he breathes Porto everywhere. He has a very assertive spirit and character, he knows what he wants and works daily for it. This period was difficult for him and when it seemed like he was almost back, he regressed in recovery, but fortunately we have a lot of competent people in the medical structure. He stands out for his Dragon race.”
