Aloísio inspires FC Porto: “No club bigger, seize your chance” | OneFootball

In the training session held on Friday morning, the FC Porto squad received a visit from Aloísio. The former central defender of the Dragons, now 62 years old, was reunited with former teammates and gave a speech to the group, in which he highlighted the stature of the club.

“I spent 11 years at FC Porto. There is no club bigger than FC Porto, make the most of the opportunity, because the club’s mentality is to win… or win,” emphasized the Brazilian, in statements released by the Dragons’ media, making a point to stress: “It’s a special club, a different club. This shirt is very heavy, it’s very special.”

Aloísio appeared emotional and assured that he closely follows the club’s journey: “I watch every FC Porto game, in Brazil. I am still a Porto supporter, it’s the club of my heart.”

It is worth recalling that the former center back, who joined FC Porto in 1990, played 474 matches wearing the Dragons’ shirt, surpassed only by João Pinto (588) and Vítor Baía (567) on the podium of players with the most appearances. He won seven Portuguese championships, seven Super Cups, and five Portuguese Cups. Aloísio was one of six players to win five consecutive league titles, along with Jorge Costa, Paulinho Santos, Rui Barros, Drulovic, and Folha.
