Luís Miguel Henrique reacted to the criticism from André Villas-Boas, who described Rodrigo Mora’s lawyer as “an opportunist looking for the spotlight.” The legal expert believes the FC Porto president is in no position to resort to that concept, calling him “a coach with glass roofs who, after leaving Portugal, has done little more than collect sackings and hefty compensation payments for poor results.”

In a statement sent to the newspaper Record, Luís Miguel Henrique also addressed the process related to the transfer of the young midfielder to AS Roma. According to the lawyer, his “only interaction with the person from FC Porto was to ensure that its President would not ‘mix things up’ again in the process in question, whether through the influence of third parties, fear of the fans, or the shadow and legacy of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, which is still felt at the Dragão.”

In the final part of the message, he also said that AVB fears what may happen this season: “André puts me on the same level as Benfica, Sporting, Portuguese refereeing… I do not think I deserve such an honour, but it is already clear that André, despite the excellent work he is doing at the helm of FC Porto, is afraid, very afraid, of what this year may bring him… and as Diácono Remédios would say, ‘There was no need!’”
