Pepê scored the goal that sealed FC Porto’s 4-1 victory over Famalicão in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup. In the quarter-finals, Porto will host Benfica.

Speaking to Porto Canal, he commented on the goal and praised the team’s collective effort: “It was a very good win, even more so against a great team. FC Famalicão is a very hard-working, dedicated team and has played great matches, including against us. Scoring is always good, but above all, we played a beautiful game and managed to neutralize their weapons. It’s a very positive result,” he analyzed on Porto Canal, speaking about the goal scored against the Minho side and highlighting the group’s unity.

He also mentioned the importance of confidence and daily work for the team’s performance: “It’s the result of a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of effort, but when there’s confidence, things flow naturally. The coaching staff and my teammates give me a lot of confidence to do what I know, and I believe I can help the team a lot. Here, we all trust each other a lot. We have a squad with a lot of quality and whoever plays will meet the coach’s expectations, which is fundamental in a team. The work is always there, we dedicate ourselves a lot every day and I believe the fans are satisfied with what we’ve been doing so far,” he stated.

Regarding his positions on the field, he commented on his versatility and the importance of helping the team: “I’ve played in several positions, today I can’t say I prefer one or the other. During my development at Grêmio I played a lot on the left side and it’s a position I find very easy to play, but for me the most important thing is to play and be on the field helping the team. It means the coaching staff trusts my work a lot and that makes me happy,” he concluded.
