Pepê believes William Gomes “could be a sensation at FC Porto” | OneFootball

In an interview with ESPN Brazil conducted before the Salzburg-FC Porto match, Pepê highlighted William Gomes, whose accurate shot secured FC Porto's victory in the 1st round of the Europa League.

"Is William Gomes my Galeno 2.0? (laughs) Maybe. William is an incredible player, a very dedicated boy, who has spectacular ambition. I think he has a lot to evolve here, he has a lot to learn in football. He is always in a good mood, ready to learn and work. If the dedication continues, who knows, he could be a phenomenon at FC Porto," said Pepê, who later commented on compatriots who did not triumph in Portugal, including Gabriel Veron.

Referring to his former colleague at Dragão, Pepê explained that Veron's constant injuries hampered his career and that, despite his evident talent and speed, the player was never able to maintain a healthy sequence of games: "I think the injuries really hindered him. When he was stable and ready to perform at a good level, Gabriel would suffer another injury. The process was always delayed. I tried to help too, of course. He was an incredible player, who had tremendous strength, and also tremendous speed. He had everything to be a top-level player worldwide, but unfortunately, injuries stopped that."
