Behind the title win: the day De Jong cycled to the stadium | OneFootball

Throughout a season marked by several challenges and setbacks, FC Porto were without Luuk de Jong and Nehuén Pérez due to serious injuries. In the second episode of the documentary “We Did It Together”, the striker and the defender spoke about how they dealt with the situation and faced their respective recovery processes.

De Jong: “When you get injured, you no longer have to travel for away games, so you have more time. I have two children and I had more time at home with them, you try to look at other good things in life. Exploring the city, I went to many places to see this beautiful city. At a certain point I had to go to the home games, all the players are always there, but we had to drive to the stadium an hour before the match, and the city is packed. And I’m from the Netherlands, and I thought: ‘Why not use a bike? Because by bike it’s 30 minutes.’ And I thought about taking the bike once, and it was great, crossing the city and seeing the fans going to the stadium. I wore a cap, of course, to be a bit disguised, it was a great experience”.
