Gabri Veiga: "The goal gives me confidence, I don't want it to end here" | OneFootball

Gabri Veiga shone in FC Porto’s victory in Vila do Conde, providing two assists and scoring his first goal for the Dragons. Speaking to Porto Canal after being named Dragon of the Week, the Spanish midfielder expressed his satisfaction with his current form.

“It was my first one here, and I hadn’t scored for a while. It’s very special because of what it represents, because it happened at such a big club, and because I proved that characteristic of getting forward. It’s a goal that gives me confidence, and I don’t want it to stop here,” he said.

The player also highlighted the importance that Francesco Farioli has given to set pieces: “From the very first day of pre-season, the coach has focused a lot of his work on this aspect. At the back we haven’t conceded, and up front we’ve been doing very well. When the ball goes out of play, it’s a good moment to attack the opponent to the fullest.”

Looking ahead to the European match in Austria, Gabri Veiga called for respect for the opponent, but made it clear that the ambition is at its highest: “They’re not at their best right now, but they have a culture of intensity, of duels, of attack. They’re used to the Champions League. We’ll have to make the most of our chances and win, because our motto is to win every game.”
