Remembered at FC Porto for his years of top-level performances, the titles he won, and his decisive influence on a goal at the Estádio da Luz, Herrera knows well the intensity of Porto passion. “There, very strong bonds are formed between the city, the club, the players and the fans. It was difficult to leave the club; my children still talk a lot about FC Porto, they know the supporters’ chants. It was, without a doubt, a special club in my career,” explains the Mexican.

Like Danilo and Alex Sandro, he is also considering the possibility of returning to Invicta. “Finishing at FC Porto would be my dream. I have many friends in the city, outside football. Many send me messages, I still keep my house there, the emotional bond is strong. I can see myself living in Porto again; like Maxi and Jackson, that city draws in and attracts those who played there. Being in Portugal, I would experience this Porto passion even more,” he stresses, with a line of communication already open with Villas-Boas.

“I follow everything I can and stay attentive. The last year brought us joy and I spoke with the president a few times. I don’t forget that they also congratulated me on the title in Mexico. A beautiful relationship was built. I see great leadership; it has been a great season, after many changes,” observes the Mexican, referring to key figures in the title win.

“I really like Rodrigo Mora because I also saw him stand out at the Club World Cup. Now I’ve seen a great Varela, a good Fofana. I saw several goals through messages from friends at the stadium,” he says.
