Diogo Costa remembers Jorge Costa: “I’ll carry him with me for life” | OneFootball

Diogo Costa gave a long interview to the newspaper O Jogo, after renewing his contract with FC Porto. Among the topics discussed, the Dragons' goalkeeper reacted to Estela Costa's statements at the Dragões de Ouro and then spoke about Jorge Costa:

«It was a very pleasant surprise, which caused a lot of emotion. I was particularly touched because, obviously, the longing for Jorge Costa exists. He was someone who made us feel almost as if he were playing with us, who shared all his experience, and also helped me in the role of captain. He was someone who cared a lot about the players, and all the moments we shared with him are indeed very memorable. I will carry him with me for my entire life».

«What matters most is what I take from Jorge for life. I think it's clear to everyone what Jorge is like as a person and as a player, and that is truly the beauty of it all. What makes him the man he is, the person he is, the player he was. Once again, I say, I will carry him with me for my entire life, and I am extremely grateful to his family for the words and for all this recognition of identifying me with Jorge. I am very grateful and happy to hear her words, and I hope once again that, with all this, we take FC Porto to the highest level».
