Alberto: "Goal? At the time I didn't even realise it was mine" | OneFootball

Alberto Costa, FC Porto player, spoke to SportTV after the 4-0 win against Casa Pia, on the third matchday of the League, and left several comments about the match and his adaptation to the club.

About the goal and the assist, he said:

«What matters is that it was a team goal. At the moment, I didn't even realize it was mine, as I touched it, but what matters is that it was our goal.»

Regarding the absence due to injury of Samu and Pepe, he stated:

«I don't call it pressure that we lost those players, because if one is missing, the teammate on the side will be ready to take over. All players are important and I want to dedicate this victory to all the injured and those who entered, because they entered very well. They gave everything they had on the field and that's how a group is formed.»

Asked about his trajectory – from V. Guimarães to Juventus and now to FC Porto – and about an eventual added pressure, he stated:

«Last year I started, I seized the opportunity and made a huge leap. Now I came here, I made another leap. I want to do my job and bring joy to the fans, who are incredible. I thank you very much for the full house, because it gives a lot of strength.»

About the classic against Sporting, he commented:

«A next difficult game, like this one. We will have a week of work and enter with the same ambition and claw as we enter all games.»
