Felipe Lopes: No secrets to facing FC Porto in these matches | OneFootball

Former central defender Felipe Lopes, currently involved in football as an agent, was part of the two victories of Nacional over FC Porto, one at Choupana and the other at Dragão. The most recent was in the 2011/2012 season, in the League Cup. “FC Porto was coming off a long unbeaten streak. And once again, it was a game where things went our way. I think the key point was maintaining the belief and confidence that we could come away with a victory, without focusing on the opponent's form. It's not an easy task to be losing at Dragão and manage a comeback,” he recalls.

When asked about what can make the difference in matches against Porto, Lopes points out a few aspects. “Honestly, I don't believe in secrets for facing this type of game. But good preparation, combined with a lot of concentration and efficiency, could lead Nacional to another victory,” he summarizes.

The next opponent in the league is FC Porto, the Dragons, a team that the islanders have already defeated on four occasions.
