Joana, Vasco Sousa’s fiancée, revealed a highly emotional message addressed to the Porto midfielder by Jorge Costa, in a statement that highlights the player’s bond with the club.
“Your place is here. There are few like you, who breathe and live Porto. You are a Porto-type player,” were the words recalled, evoking the internal recognition of Vasco Sousa’s identity and commitment to the Dragons.
The phrase highlights the profile of the midfielder, developed within the blue-and-white world, often associated with dedication, intensity, and identification with FC Porto’s values. The reference to being “a Porto-type player” comes across as praise for the athlete’s competitive character and sense of belonging.
Vasco Sousa has been seen as one of the players who best reflects that emotional connection to the club, not only because of his journey, but also because of the way he wears the Porto shirt. The message now revealed reinforces precisely that image of a player deeply identified with FC Porto’s culture.
In a context where symbolism and mystique continue to carry weight in the dressing room and within the club’s structure, these words take on particular significance by linking Vasco Sousa to an idea of continuity in Porto’s historic values.
