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

Gabri Veiga shone in FC Porto's victory in Vila do Conde, tallying 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 satisfaction with his current form.

"It was my first here, I hadn't scored in a while. Very special for what it represents, for happening at such a big club, and because I confirmed this characteristic of getting forward. It's a goal that gives me confidence and I don't want it to end here," he said.

The player also highlighted the importance that Francesco Farioli has given to set pieces: "From the first day of pre-season, the coach focused a lot of his work on this aspect. We don't concede at the back and we've been very good at the front. When the ball leaves the field it's a good time to attack the opponent to the maximum."

Thinking about the European encounter in Austria, Gabri Veiga asked for respect for the opponent, but made it clear that the ambition is maximum: "They are not at their best moment, but they have a culture of intensity, of duels, of attack. They are used to the Champions. We will have to take full advantage of the opportunities and win, because the motto is to win all the games."
