Gabri Veiga: “We’re the team to beat, it’ll be tougher than last season” | OneFootball

Gabri Veiga spoke to FC Porto’s channels at the start of pre-season. The Dragons began work on Wednesday, July 1.

Gabri Veiga gave an interview to FC Porto’s channels. The Dragons held their first training session on the pitch this Thursday as they began preparations for the new season, after officially getting the campaign underway on Wednesday.

“We’re really eager to get back to enjoying what we love most, to playing at home again with our fans. The truth is that we have a very exciting season ahead of us and we have to start working flat out right away,” said Gabri Veiga.

“We’re the team everyone wants to beat, our rivals will strengthen, and without a doubt this will be a more difficult season than the last one. I think we surprised others with the level we showed, and now they already know us, so it’s going to be very difficult, but we’re here to honor FC Porto and put it where it belongs, which is above everyone else,” he also said.

Gabri Veiga also spoke about the medical tests and the physical demands of training:

“The tests aren’t that important, but the training sessions are, because we’re a team that needs to give 100%, to leave everything on the pitch, so we need to prepare well and I already know we’re going to suffer a bit.”

“Every year they are important, and this year we all have to stay united, team and fans, because it’s going to be a very difficult year, very exciting and with many objectives ahead. We need our fans more than ever and I’m sure they’ll be there giving everything,” Gabri Veiga added.
