“It was a very good season and we want to match it or do even better” | OneFootball

“Pre-season is the first step of the whole campaign,” which is why Salvador Gomes acknowledges the importance of “training sessions being more demanding so that the team is ready for the fast pace it will face.” At the start of FC Porto B’s preparations, the 18-year-old defender did not hide his enthusiasm about “being able to learn from the older players” and voiced his desire to repeat the success of 2025/26 “or do even better.”

Back in action“It’s always very good to get back to training. Of course, it’s also good to have our holidays so we can rest a little, but getting back to doing what we love is always really good.”

The first step“Pre-season is the first step of the whole campaign and it’s very important to get off to a good start. It’s also very important for training sessions to be more demanding so that we’re ready for the season and for the fast pace we’re going to face.”

Porto’s high standards“We know this phase is more difficult and that they will always push us harder, but it’s something that will help us in the future.”

An opportunity to learn“There are older players and we learn from them. For us, being younger, it’s a pleasure and a source of pride to be here. It’s a good opportunity and we’re very happy. Doing pre-season with the B team is very important, I think it will really push us. I also know it will be more difficult because the pace is higher, but it’s something that will help us develop and it’s a good opportunity.”

The Segunda Liga“We know it is much more demanding and much more difficult in every aspect, but it will be good for us.”
