Pepê, Neymar and the Champions League: “It ramps up the pressure” | OneFootball

In an interview with GloboEsporte, Pepê reflected on the development of his game, the role models who inspire him, and the significance of FC Porto’s return to the Champions League.

Lastly, he spoke about his idol Neymar: “Neymar is my biggest idol in football. I’ve followed him since I was little and I draw a lot of inspiration from the joy he has always played with and his boldness on the pitch. I had the pleasure of meeting him, and it was a dream come true. To me, he is the great star of our generation. It was with the national team, during the Copa América. He showed up there just to say hi to us. And I was nervous, just like what happened with Thiago Silva here. Meeting an idol of that magnitude is very special.”
