Nehuén Pérez on goal in return to the XI: “Long months, huge pride” | OneFootball

Nehuén Pérez reflected on FC Porto’s victory over Rio Ave

The Argentine defender gave his analysis of the matchday 2 clash in the Primeira Liga, which ended with a 3-0 win for the Dragons. After the final whistle, he began by speaking about the goal he scored in the first half:

“Very happy after a very difficult year personally. They were very long months, and returning to the starting lineup with this reward (Man of the Match) is a huge source of pride and the result of the work I’ve been putting in.”

“When I scored, I looked for the people who helped me the most, who were very important to me. Without them it wouldn’t have been possible. At the club we have people who dedicate themselves to us 24 hours a day. I’m very happy to be able to share this with them and very proud.”

“Playing at right-back? Everyone has to adapt wherever needed, and I always try to help the club and the coach. They know they can count on me wherever it is: the heart and fighting spirit will never fail.”

“2 goals in Vila do Conde? Yes, it’s the second goal I’ve scored here. Last time I didn’t leave happy because it wasn’t a good game, we came away with a draw. But today, thank God, we leave with a win and I’m very happy.”

“We have to keep working, we are very united as a group. We know it will be a difficult year and we’ve already seen that in the opening rounds.”
