Samu wanted more: “I wanted to help more, but the team matters most” | OneFootball

Out of competition since February due to a right knee injury that required surgery, Samu marked this Saturday’s FC Porto home match against Santa Clara, on a day he described as “very special” for the blue-and-white club. Speaking to Porto Canal, the forward expressed satisfaction with the contribution he made before the forced stoppage, although he admits he would have liked to have helped the team more.

“Everyone knows I always try to help the team. I was happy with what I did until my injury… I wanted to have contributed more, but what matters most to me is the team,” he said.

The player also took the opportunity to thank the entire Porto setup for the support he received during his recovery period. “It has been spectacular,” he said, before addressing the atmosphere on the eve of the match against the Azorean side and the possibility of celebrating at the end of the game.

“Celebrate? I suffer a lot during matches, but afterwards we may be able to celebrate and lift that long-awaited trophy we have been fighting for since pre-season,” he concluded.
