“FC Porto are stronger than ever” | OneFootball

The new national volleyball champions presented the trophy to the FC Porto Museum on Sunday, and Miguel Coelho took the opportunity to thank “a group of super women” who “were resilient, outstanding and showed a desire to win”, the staff who helped “the team achieve so much success over the last three years”, the “Board, which sent a very strong initial message that helped the group win another title”, and the “sponsors, who were key in building a volleyball project”.

At a time when “FC Porto is more than alive and stronger than ever”, the Porto coach turned his focus to the “achievements still to come” and recalled that “this Club only wins because it works every day towards a common goal”, with “a lot of passion and love”.

The role of the Board“At moments like this, when a trophy is handed over to the Museum, it is always important to give some thanks. The first go to the entire Board, led by president André Villas-Boas, and to the other members present here, as well as the many others who are not here, for having conveyed to us a very strong initial message of hunger to win and a sense of unity that is, in fact, plain for all to see. This recent success of FC Porto, not only of the volleyball team, meant that we were able to win yet another title.”

The vitality of FC Porto“The vitality of the Club is clear to see. We have more and more members, I think there are already more than 178,000, and just last weekend the football, roller hockey and volleyball teams all played at the same time, and all of them had full stadiums and arenas. All this is the result of the work of a Board that has shown itself to be consistent in its ideas and consistent in its commitment to serving FC Porto. We are very grateful to you, because your work allowed us to do our work extremely well.”

Special thanks“I would like to thank the sponsors, who were fundamental in building Futebol Clube do Porto’s volleyball project, through a very important mix of roles. First of all, Doctor Pedro Violas, who helped found the project, and José Carlos Ribeiro, whom we must thank publicly for all the work and method he brought to the Club, but above all for the humanity he managed to bring to this project. I also thank the staff and their families, because it is a great privilege to work with professionals and men like you. Without you, the team would never have had so much success over these three years. I also thank all the players who went far beyond their role and who, with a very clear idea of serving the Club without serving themselves from the Club, were resilient, were outstanding, showed a desire to win, and brought a lot of passion into the arena every single day. All the memories we have together will always be kept for a lifetime and for an entire career.”

Blue and white DNA“Our opponents still do not know why FC Porto wins, but we do. We were here every day and worked towards a common goal that was achieved. We are league champions and we are Portuguese Cup winners through a lot of work, a lot of passion and a lot of love for what we do. My deepest thanks go to a group of super women and their super families. I am very honoured to be part of your journey and your day-to-day life, thank you all very much. FC Porto is more than alive, FC Porto is stronger than ever. The next triumphs are still to come. Long live Futebol Clube do Porto. Thank you all.”
