José Tavares, FC Porto academy director: “We’ll give them time” | OneFootball

José Tavares, FC Porto’s director of youth development, attended the 4th Bola Branca Conference and spoke about the progress of young players, as well as the strategy followed by the blue-and-white club.

“What we are going to do is something very simple: give players the time and the opportunity to be in the right place. Last year, for example, our junior team captain was an under-17 player [Bernardo Lima]. And we naturally put him in the right environment so that he could develop. What happened naturally? He became European champion with the national team, he also became world champion with the national team, and he has already made his debut for the first team. And this is just one example of what gives greater visibility to all the others who are already in the B team. We have them. Do you understand, do you understand,” he added.
