“We’ve been waiting for this since day one” | OneFootball

The national U17 champions lifted the trophy after hosting and beating Rio Ave 2-0, and José João spoke of “a very special moment”, one that “the team had been waiting for since day one”. “This moment had a different impact, especially because it happened at our home, together with our families and supporters,” said the coach, who is focused on “continuing on this path with enormous ambition”, especially as “there are still two games left and FC Porto wants to have the best defense and the best attack”.

Lifting the trophy“It was very special. We had been waiting for this since day one. Even though we became champions last week, of course this moment had a different impact, especially because it happened at our home, together with our families and supporters. We are very happy. It is very well deserved. We just want to celebrate a lot.”

Two games left“We always have to play to win. We are evaluated every day at this Club. Every day we have to prove that we deserve to be in this position, and we feel immense pride in wearing this shirt, winning titles and winning games. This is the only way we can live. We will continue with enormous ambition and keep moving forward. We have two games to win and we want to have the best defense and the best attack. We want to always play with this ambition and this passion inside us.”

A successful season“It was a successful season, that is undeniable, because of the way we won the title. I wouldn’t say it was perfect, because perfection does not exist; we are always looking for more and better so that our players develop and are ready for the next level. Perfection makes us relax, and we do not want to relax; we want to always live with very high intensity so that we can represent this Club to the fullest. I am happy and satisfied with a successful season, but we were far from perfection.”
