Reaching 200 games for FC Porto is a source of pride | OneFootball

Diogo Costa celebrates reaching 200 matches for FC Porto as a special milestone: "it's not for everyone," considers the goalkeeper and captain, adding that the achievement "a source of pride" tastes even better when achieved at home: "it always tastes better". In the post-game debate on Porto Canal, after the 4-0 thrashing against Casa Pia, the captain emphasized that "anything is possible with work, dedication and humility", that "the focus is always on the next game" and attributed "a lot of credit" to Francesco Farioli, whom he described as "a coach who greatly surprised in a positive way" by introducing "demand, joy and new energy" to the Club.

200 games in blue and white"It's not for everyone. I never thought I could play so many games, nobody ever expects this, let alone as captain from such an early age, but it's a source of pride and playing at home always tastes better."

Advice to the younger ones"Dreaming big is always good, but going after it is always better. It's a lot of sacrifice and giving up a lot to achieve high performance. Everything is possible with work, dedication and humility."

Game by game"Among us, we must always demand and expect in relation to the next game, not think about the more distant future, and it's up to me, as well as the other captains, to remind our teammates of this. The focus is always on the next game, we have to live very much day by day and in the present go in search of the best possible future."

The praises to Francesco Farioli"We have to give a lot of credit to Mr. Farioli, a coach who greatly surprised me in a positive way. I strongly believe in good daily habits, that's what he brought: demand, joy and renewed energy above all. It's up to me to train to be as complete as possible, not just to make saves in goal, that's always been my goal. We have to give a lot of credit to our coach for everything that's happening, but also here comes humility and intensity in work. The sacrifice always has to be there."
