Villas-Boas: “Cardoso Varela? Great talent joins FC Porto, now up to him”

Gradual progression: “There is a huge desire to fill a role that, in 2024, was going to be dedicated to him, which was to begin with the first team, train with the first team and establish himself in FC Porto’s first team. He necessarily takes a step back, because his place at this moment is as a B team player, but with the potential he has, we believe he will quickly reach the first team.”

Talent for the future: “A great talent is signing for FC Porto, we certainly believe so, but now it depends on him. We are opening the doors, but now his talent must always be at the Club’s disposal. The player has to perform for FC Porto and its objectives, and that is what we believe in.”
