Alex Telles returns to Estádio do Dragão on his birthday | OneFootball

Alex Telles returned to Estádio do Dragão on his birthday, taking the opportunity to pose for photos with fans and receive a gift from André Villas-Boas.

Currently playing for Botafogo, the 33-year-old Brazilian international expressed his happiness at returning to a place he knows well and gave enthusiastic praise to Francesco Farioli, drawing a parallel between the work of the Italian coach and that of Sérgio Conceição.

“This is a FC Porto very similar to that of Sérgio Conceição, in my time. They are on the right path to winning the league again. I experienced moments here that will last forever and I was very happy during the four years I played at FC Porto,” he stated.

It should be noted that Francisco Moura is Farioli's only option for the left side of the defense, so this position is expected to be strengthened in the winter market. Alex Telles has a contract with Botafogo until December 2026 and is, in fact, the player with the most assists at Estádio do Dragão (38).
