The connection between Pepê and William Gomes is well known; William scored the goal that gave FC Porto the victory over Salzburg. Pepê is in his fifth season at the club and plays an important role in helping his teammate integrate.

“We try to help each other as much as possible. When I arrived here, I also faced many difficulties. Otávio and Evanilson helped me a lot so that I could adapt and help the team in the best way possible. And that’s what I try to do with William. I know that the transition from South American football to European football is very demanding, the intensity is very high. So both I and the others try to help the younger players, and that shows on the pitch,” explained Pepê, who couldn’t hide his smile when commenting on his teammate’s talent.

“William has incredible quality, enormous potential, so we try to give him the best conditions so that he can play calmly and in the way he knows best,” he added. “He has above-average decision-making ability. When he gets the ball, we encourage him a lot in training to take on opponents and do what he does best, which is finishing and going one-on-one,” he said.
