Alan Varela gave an interview to the newspaper A Bola. The Argentine midfielder, a key piece for the Dragons this season, praised the positive start to the new campaign and contrasted it with a 2024/25 marked by failure.
“The team is doing very well; we’ve shown what it means to play like FC Porto. All of this is also thanks to the coaching staff and all the players who are working to the maximum every day so we can face and win every match,” said the midfielder, recalling last season.
“The last season didn’t go well. It didn’t go well and we didn’t achieve any of the objectives we had set. It’s true it was a very bad year. But wearing this badge gives us even more desire to turn the page, to face every challenge, and to win as much as possible, as the club demands,” Alan Varela stressed.
