FC Porto helped me understand what’s been wrong after years of suffering | OneFootball

Jassie Vasconcelos, who last summer signed a contract with FC Porto, announced today the end of her career. In an emotional and revealing intervention, she spoke about mental health issues - particularly anxiety and panic attacks - and thanked FC Porto for helping her understand her situation and prioritizing her personal well-being.

“

“... To Porto I will be grateful for, before seeing me as a player, they saw me as a person and helped me understand what is going on with me after years of suffering.

Porto was always a childhood dream! But, I prefer to fill my heart with love, positivity and joy for having had the opportunity to live the best moments as a football player in the best club in the world.

To the people who accompany me on this adventure, a big thank you for all the support. I also want to say that it was a huge pleasure to be able to contribute to women's football in my country.

I feel that I am in the right place at the right time and that is, halfway to where I want to go.”
