Quaresma backs Porto for title: This team fights to the end | OneFootball

Ricardo Quaresma expressed confidence in FC Porto’s chances in the title race, highlighting the team’s competitive consistency throughout the season.

Commenting on Porto’s current form, the former Portuguese international emphasized the team’s ability to fight “until the end” and the intensity they bring to the pitch, especially with their high pressing for most of the matches. For Quaresma, this competitive attitude helps explain the campaign FC Porto has been carrying out.

Even so, the ex-player pointed out that when FC Porto takes the lead, they sometimes drop their lines too much instead of maintaining the pressure and looking to extend the score, something that, in his view, can cost them points.

Quaresma even considered this one of the less positive aspects of modern football, advocating for a more assertive approach when the team is on top in the game.

“This is a team that has already gotten us used to fighting until the end this year, to never giving up. With that high pressing, almost 90 minutes. Despite one or another game, as a fan myself, having disappointed me a little. When you’re winning one-nil and you drop the lines, it seems like you’re afraid of losing the game. When you could keep pressing high and, instead of going for the second goal, you drop the lines and end up losing points because of it. That’s the less beautiful side of modern football,” said Ricardo Quaresma.

Despite this criticism, he praised the work being done at the club. The former winger congratulated everyone involved in the FC Porto project and reinforced the idea that the team depends only on themselves to win the title.

“We have to congratulate everyone involved in this Porto project, because the reality is that they are in first place and, to win the title, it depends only on them.”

Quaresma’s statements thus reflect confidence in Porto’s current moment, although accompanied by a warning regarding the management of some matches.
