Felipe Silva on dream season at FC Porto: “First-team work helped” | OneFootball

In his second season with FC Porto B, Felipe Silva is the player who has racked up the most minutes this season, with 2,500 in 31 matches. A 24-year-old centre-back and a key figure in the Porto B defensive line, he is just days away from reaching a new personal best.

If he is used in the derby against Benfica B, on Friday, May 15, in the final round of the league, he will make his 32nd appearance, the highest number of matches in his career. The possibility of wearing the captain’s armband and being called up to the first team, after having taken part in the training camp in the Algarve alongside Thiago Silva, are other forms of recognition that may come his way.

“Spending time with high-level athletes adds a lot, and working more closely with the first team helped me a great deal in that sense and prepared me to raise my level. I tried to make the most of every opportunity and learn from the more experienced players,” said the Brazilian player, adding that the 31 matches are a sign of the “confidence of the club and coaching staff.”

“I’m happy with this moment here in Portugal and I remain motivated to keep working and improving more and more,” he added.
