Luuk de Jong explains tears at Aliados: “Maybe my last trophy” | OneFootball

Luuk de Jong is preparing to leave FC Porto and spoke to the club’s official channels. Find out what the Dutch striker had to say.

Luuk de Jong is set to leave FC Porto and gave an interview to the club’s official media after the departure of the 35-year-old Dutch forward was confirmed. In the aftermath of a season that ended with the Primeira Liga title, the player recalled the title celebrations:

“I had never seen anything like it, it was an incredible celebration. As soon as we got on the boat, with the sunset over the city, the view was already wonderful. But then, seeing all those people on the banks of the Douro… There were so many people there at that moment. It’s as if I had never seen so many people gathered together at the same time. And then, the whole boat trip under the bridges with the fireworks, it really was something special.”

Luuk de Jong also spoke about the tears in Aliados:

“When we get older, we don’t think about so many things. And, just like winning trophies, it is something special. Not every footballer gets to win titles. I’ve won some trophies, but at my age, at such a high level, and not knowing whether this might be the last title, you start thinking about these things… Maybe this is the last time I win a trophy, that’s what I thought at that moment. When the ceremony ended and I went back, it hit me that maybe it was the last time I would do it.”
