André Villas-Boas on Super Cup: “Ambition, character, responsibility” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas reiterated FC Porto’s determination to win the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup final against Torreense, a match that marks the official start of the new domestic football season.

The Dragons’ president warned that the trophies won last season do not guarantee further success in 2025/26, arguing that the team must begin this new cycle with competitiveness and responsibility.

“We go into the match with ambition, character and a sense of responsibility,” said Villas-Boas, stressing that the side coached by Francesco Farioli will have to show every day the high level of demand inherent to the blue and white shirt.

The club chief also recalled that FC Porto won every domestic title contested across the different age groups last season, a result he attributed to the work done, the method, the talent and the culture of high standards within the club. Even so, he emphasized that this achievement should be seen only as a reference point for the future.

Regarding Torreense, their opponent in the Super Cup decider, Villas-Boas expressed respect for the club’s journey, considering its place in the final to be deserved. The Porto president assured that the team will take to the pitch determined to win the first trophy of the season.
