Hélder Nunes: "Let’s give it our all and win that first trophy together" | OneFootball

The Odivelas Multi-Purpose Pavilion hosts the António Livramento Super Cup, in a clash between the two-time national champion FC Porto and Sporting (Saturday, 12:00, DAZN), winner of the Portuguese Cup. On the eve of “the part everyone likes, with an important match and a title at stake,” Hélder Nunes emphasized that the opponent has “an excellent team” and a quality “plain for all to see,” but if the Dragons “do things right,” “it will be hard to beat us.” “We can’t guarantee that we’ll win, but we can guarantee hard work, effort, and dedication,” added the Portuguese international, convinced that “our fans won’t let us down.”

Spokesman for the locker room“I feel the team is confident. It’s a process we’ve been developing for about a month. We came from the national team and joined up, but we also had time to rest. It was an important month for our growth, to get to know Paulo Freitas’ ideas. Now begins the part everyone likes, with an important match and a title at stake. We’re going together, giving everything to win the first trophy.”

Sporting“There’s not much to say about Sporting, they’re an excellent team, they just won the Club World Cup and reached the final of the Elite Cup. Their quality is clear for all to see, but we have ours too, and we focus more on ourselves than on them. If we do things right, it’s hard to beat us, and with Paulo Freitas it will be no different, because he knows what it means to represent FC Porto and to be a Porto supporter. We really believe in our work. We can’t guarantee that we’ll win, but we can guarantee hard work, effort, and dedication.”

A classic further South“We know our fans won’t let us down and that they’ll be there to support us and help us lift this trophy.”

Goals for 2025/26“We’re going to fight for the third consecutive championship. We really want to keep winning, we work for that, and we know the road is very long. Our journey starts now, but our goal is to win everything, every competition we’re going to play.”
