Diogo Costa: “Everyone has the right attitude and work ethic” | OneFootball

Return to Olival: “It’s always good to get back to the routine and to my club with my batteries recharged. Once again, I hope I can contribute to FC Porto’s success.”

Start of pre-season: “The lads are already at a different pace from mine, but I think I’ll be able to catch up with them as quickly as possible. I feel the team is highly motivated, as if it hadn’t won any trophies last season.”

Well-earned rest: “It was a very demanding season, and rest is also part of training. I had time to recharge my batteries, and now I’m going to give my best to contribute to FC Porto’s success.”

Ambition to win: “FC Porto has always lived off titles. We players are addicted to winning, and there’s no greater motivation than starting out with a win, especially if it comes with a trophy.”

On Torreense: “We’re expecting to face a super-motivated team. They dream of repeating what they achieved against Sporting, and we have to show a lot of respect and humility, because we’re going to play against a team that made history.”

Confidence in the group: “We’re a highly motivated team. I’ve seen a lot of energy and a lot of willingness to sacrifice. At this stage of the season, there’s always more work to be done to improve our performance, but I see everyone with the right attitude and a hardworking mentality, which is what has always characterized us. Above all, we have the ambition to keep bringing titles to this club.”

Porto identity: “FC Porto will continue to show its identity. We want to improve on last year’s results, and this is an FC Porto side that is very strong collectively. That’s what defines us, and we want to carry the DNA of the city, our people, and the club with us as we go after titles.”

Full house: “It’s always easier to play with 12 players. We’re expecting great support from our fans, as always, and we hope we can win all together.”
