André Silva eyes the national team: “If I get that chance…” | OneFootball

FC Porto beat Casa Pia 4-1 in Rio Maior, in a comeback that began in the first half, with André Silva scoring in stoppage time. At the end of the match, the Portugal international gave his analysis of the game.

“Overall, we were superior, we wanted it more. It wasn’t easy; last year we didn’t take the three points from here. Going behind and turning the game around comes from the team’s desire and the determination to win,” he began by saying in comments to Sport TV before going on to discuss the change in mindset.

“We had a difficult game [against Man. City], a complicated one. The Champions League has only just begun, but the mentality required here at this club is always the same: to go into every match ready to step up, overcome the opponent, and take the three points home, or the trophies when that’s the case,” he said.

The Dragons return to action against Benfica on September 20, and the forward looked ahead to the next clássico.

“We still have the whole week to work; they are a title contender, and we’re going to work to understand what our strengths are so we can give our best and face the challenge,” he explained, also addressing a possible return to the national team: “That’s up to the boss [Jorge Jesus] to decide. I’ll keep doing my best here, fighting for the club I love, and if I get that opportunity, I’ll make the most of it.”

Jakub Kiwior was named the match MVP and also gave a brief statement at the end of the game: “This match was very important because we won three points where we lost them last season.”
