Nikitscher: “FC Porto are a great side” | OneFootball

FC Porto beat Rio Ave 2-0 in a match in which they once again showed great threat from set pieces. It was exactly that way that Neuhén Pérez scored the first goal, while the goal scored by Bednarek ended up being disallowed. In the end, Tamas Nikitscher lamented the result, although he highlighted the work done by the team in that area and acknowledged the opponent’s merit.

“I can’t say anything, we worked a lot, we prepared the corner, but we fight. We want to give happiness to the fans, but I can’t say anything. It’s a difficult game, we know FC Porto are a great team, but we have to keep going. We have to work hard and next week we have to win,” he began by saying, in statements to Sport TV.

Asked about the team’s reaction to conceding after just 11 minutes, the midfielder preferred not to assess the response shown on the pitch. “Honestly, I don’t know, I just want to say that we have to work, to keep going, we have to believe in ourselves and we have to give happiness to the fans because they deserve it,” he said, also leaving a message of confidence for the future.

“Portuguese football is very complicated, very fast, but we are ready. We worked a lot in pre-season, so we have to keep going and we’ll see. We have to win,” concluded the player, who is in his second season in Portugal.
