“I always dreamed of playing for FC Porto” | OneFootball

After fulfilling his dream of signing for FC Porto, Ricardo Costa recalls an invitation that “was impossible to refuse” – “because I’m a Porto fan and I love FC Porto” – and promises the supporters “a lot of hard work and lots of goals.” Aware that “grit cannot be lacking,” the pivot, whose “love for futsal began when I was playing near home with my friends,” hopes to experience “an incredible moment” in his debut at the Dragão Arena and calls on the fans to fill the stands: “I hope they come and support us in every match, I’m sure it will be an incredible atmosphere.”

An invitation impossible to refuse“When I got the call, I didn’t even think twice. It was impossible to refuse, because I’m a Porto fan, I have many family members who support Porto, and I love FC Porto.”

The commitment made“You can expect a lot of hard work – don’t doubt that I will give everything – and lots of goals.”

Grit as an essential requirement“Here, grit cannot be lacking; all FC Porto players have to have grit.”

A dream come true“It’s a dream come true. I always dreamed of representing FC Porto, and now I’m fulfilling that dream.”

The path taken in futsal“Interestingly, I started at Casa FC Porto de Rio Tinto and represented other clubs at youth level until I established myself at ADCR Caxinas for seven years. I managed to earn promotion to the First Division in my first year as a senior player, and then I moved to Futsal Azeméis. I played there for two years, had a short spell at SCU Torreense, signed for Dínamo Sanjoanense, and now I’m here.”

How the passion for the sport began“My love for futsal began when I was playing near home with my friends, and an official from Casa FC Porto de Rio Tinto invited me to go to a tournament with them. They liked me and kept me on, that’s when I started playing futsal and I’ve never stopped since.”

The appeal to the supporters“The first match is going to be incredible, I won’t have words to describe it. I hope the supporters come and back us in every match, I’m sure they will fill the arena and that it will be an incredible atmosphere.”
