Froholdt welcomes brother: “My home for a year, now his too” | OneFootball

Hjalte Froholdt was unveiled as a new FC Porto signing, where he will join the B team and the under-19s, and his brother played host for the official announcement. Victor, 20, a member of the first-team squad, welcomed the 18-year-old right-back and said he was convinced Hjalte would be very happy in blue and white.

“It’s very good to have him here. This has been my home for a year now, and I’m sure that from now on it will also be Hjalte’s home, so I’m looking forward to seeing him in this shirt and playing for this badge. I hope he succeeds at FC Porto. I know he will be very well received here, that’s what happens with all the players who come into the youth ranks and the first team. As soon as you arrive in the city and get to know the Club, you feel at home and you feel a fantastic atmosphere from the fans, so I believe it will be good for him. We are very close and we talked about it. He knows my situation here and I think it was an easy decision for him to come to FC Porto, not only because I’m here, but also because of his future, as a player and as a person. I believe he is ready to play for FC Porto. It’s a privilege to have pressure on you, but now it’s up to him to show what he can do and the qualities he has,” said the midfielder, admitting some extra personal happiness about the moment: “I only saw him a few times over the last year, so it will be good to be able to spend time with him at home and in the city.”

Hjalte also did not hide his excitement and revealed that his brother shares his satisfaction with the path he is building at the Dragão. “We had good conversations, he only has good things to say about this Club. I didn’t even need to think much when I found out FC Porto wanted to sign me. My brother’s journey has been very good. I’ve followed him since day one and he has grown immensely. Last season he was National Champion and he is in the right place,” he said, before highlighting his ambition and introducing himself: “It means a lot to me. I’ve been following FC Porto for some time now, because my brother also plays here, so I already have a certain connection with the club. I’m a player who runs a lot and carries the ball well.”
