Gabri Veiga: “FC Porto has exceeded all my expectations” | OneFootball

Gabri Veiga acknowledged that FC Porto ended up “above the expectations” he had set when he arrived at the club, at a time when the 31st title was being celebrated.

“As I said at the start of the season, it’s been a very good season for the club. My first objective was to put FC Porto back where it deserves to be, beyond the goals and assists. It is the biggest club in Portugal. Our work has been recognized, and that feels good.”

What changed from last season

“It was, to a large extent, the mentality of everyone who arrived. The president had a lot to do with that; he took responsibility. We made great signings, and the manager was also important. If it hadn’t been like that, we wouldn’t have been successful.”

Farioli’s rotation

“It was important; for all players it’s hard to understand that at first, but in the end it turned out to be the best way for us to reach the end of the season fresh. Other teams can’t say the same. In the Europa League we did a good job, and in the Portuguese Cup we were superior. Farioli’s work was incredible; he got the best out of all of us.”

“I’m very fortunate to have found something beyond my expectations. I have to thank the coach, the president, and all the staff. It’s above all expectations. And I’m close to home. That helps too.”
