FC Porto made it two wins in as many matches this Saturday by beating Rio Ave 0-2 in Vila do Conde. Back in the starting line-up several months later and deployed at right-back, Nehuén Pérez opened the scoring from a corner taken by Gabri Veiga. The Argentine was also named the match’s MVP, an award he sees as “a huge source of pride”, “the result of all the work I’ve been doing”, and one he was keen to share with the Club staff who “dedicate themselves to us 24 hours a day”. Nehuén Pérez also stressed that it is necessary to “keep working as we have been so far”, since “it’s going to be a very difficult year”.

A happy and proud MVP “I’m very happy, it’s been a very tough year and some very long months. Coming back into the starting line-up with this award is a huge source of pride. It’s the result of all the work I’ve been doing.”

A goal with a special dedication “When I scored, I went looking for the people who helped me and who were very important to me. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. Here at the Club, we have people who dedicate themselves to us 24 hours a day, and I’m very happy to share this with them. I’m very proud.”

Starting at right-back “At this Club, you have to adapt wherever needed. I try to help the team, the coach and the Club, and they can count on me wherever I’m needed. I’ll never be lacking in heart or desire.”

Used to scoring in Vila do Conde “This is the second goal I’ve scored here, but the first time I drew. Today, thank God, we came away with the win and I’m very happy.”

One game at a time “The truth is we have to keep working, we are very united as a group and we already know it’s going to be a very difficult year, we’ve already seen that in the opening matches. We have to keep working as we have been so far.”
