FC Porto recorded their second win in as many matchdays this Saturday, beating Rio Ave 0-2 in Vila do Conde. Back in the starting lineup 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 considers “a huge source of pride,” “the result of all the work I’ve been putting in,” 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,” since “it’s going to be a very difficult year.”
A happy and proud MVP “I’m very happy, it’s been a very hard year and long months. Returning to the starting lineup with this award is a huge source of pride. It’s the result of all the work I’ve been putting in.”
A goal with a special dedication “When I scored, I went to look 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 will never lack heart and willingness.”
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 leave 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 matchdays. We have to keep working as we have been.”
