“The players proved we can turn talent into trophies” | OneFootball

Upon presenting the trophy for winning the National Under-17 Championship to the FC Porto Museum, José Tavares stressed that the players, coaching staff and the entire structure experienced “a moment of recognition for the talent FC Porto has and for the commitment and daily work of so many people”.

“The players showed, once again, that FC Porto is very strong when it is united and that we are capable of turning talent into titles,” highlighted the academy director, convinced that the youth champions “are much better prepared to look towards the first team and closer to the dream” after a season marked by the “exceptional work of the coaching staff”, who implemented a new model “in a very positive way”.

The fair reward for a year of great dedication“Above all, this is a moment of recognition for the talent FC Porto has and for the commitment and daily work of so many people. The players showed, once again, that FC Porto is very strong when it is united and that we are capable of turning talent into titles.”

Closer to the dream“We know that throughout this season there were many moments when the players had to train with the B team or the under-19s, they were with the national teams and they developed. Today they are much better prepared to look towards the first team and closer to the dream. When a title is won, it is a sign of public recognition for what is done every day at our facilities.”

A team with Porto DNA“I want to highlight that the coaching staff did an exceptional job. A lot was new, but the model was applied in a very positive way and the methodological side was guided with fundamental demands every day. The individual development plans showed growth in the talent and in the players during matches, not only in training. All of this now culminates with the presentation of this trophy to the Museum, to the president. It is the final step of something that began even before the season started, when all of us took on the commitment of wanting to compete to finish first, always questioning what the day-to-day was, so that they would always find solutions and not excuses, so that they would always find within themselves the values of transcendence and self-improvement, as well as that commitment that our members and fans want to see in each of our teams, whether playing at home or at the home of our rivals.”

The work goes on“This season has been marked by great results, major development, back-to-back champion players and players making their debut in our B team, which, for us, is a moment of calm, peace of mind and humility, knowing that the work continues tomorrow already, for the next match, and, above all, that the dream remains alive for each one of them.”
