Domingos Muxito signs professional contract | OneFootball

Domingos Muxito has signed the first professional contract of his career and will continue to wear the blue and white shirt. In his debut season for FC Porto, the forward, just 16 years old, won the national under-17 and under-19 titles, totaling three goals and seven assists in 15 matches for the under-17s, as well as another six goals in 14 games for the under-19s.

After “a brilliant season that will stay in my memory forever,” the Angolan winger says he is “very happy” and determined to keep “achieving goals” in the service of a “wonderful club” that “welcomed” him “with open arms.” “I immediately felt everyone’s embrace and respect. People here are more welcoming than down there,” says the player signed from Alcochetense, who feels “something that compels me to run back and forth and give my life for the Club.”

Continuing in blue and white“It is very important to me; this Club welcomed me really well and the city of Porto is very good. I feel happy here.”

Signing a professional contract“It was one of my goals; I worked for this. A lot of people helped me, especially my teammates, and it was a brilliant season for us. We always worked to achieve our goals.”

From Angola to Portugal“I was eight years old when I arrived here. I came to study, found a club to play football, and stayed there for five years, but then I stopped playing. At Alcochetense I started playing again, then I moved to FC Porto and I’m very happy here.”

The years in Alcochete“They were important years. Several people helped me grow, but the most important thing was signing for this wonderful club that welcomed me with open arms. I’m very happy here.”

First impressions of Porto“I immediately felt everyone’s embrace and respect. People here are more welcoming than down there.”

A new reality“The adaptation was quick because my teammates helped me, as did my coaches and the board. Everyone at FC Porto helped me and made everything easier, which is why I am here today and why I feel better. There were several years when I wasn’t playing, but I arrived here and started playing straight away. I won two National Championships, which is not easy, and I’m really very happy.”

Being a forward“Honestly, I never thought much about it; it was something that came naturally. I used to play football in the street with my friends and also with my father, but I never thought I would become a forward capable of scoring goals. I am what I am because of them.”

Defending and attacking“My characteristics have changed a lot. Now I play with more grit, I have more quality, and I am the player I am also because I love FC Porto. I feel something that compels me to run back and forth and give my life for the Club.”

Under-17 and under-19 champion“It was a brilliant season that will stay in my memory forever. We wrote a very beautiful story.”

Effort rewarded“It wasn’t easy. You have to wake up early and start working first thing in the morning, arrive at the pitch focused so you can train at your maximum. Everyone knows that. The board, the coaches, and all the FC Porto staff helped me a lot, and that is why we won those championships, through the merit of all the staff who gave their all for us, just as we gave our all for them.”

FC Porto DNA“We always want to win; here we have to give our lives for the Club.”

Playing in two age groups“It was a very demanding season for me. Playing for the under-17s and the under-19s was not easy, but I always fought for it. I play wherever they want me to play, and that’s what I did.”

Directly involved in 16 goals“It was a very good season; the coaches helped me a lot.”

An under-19 player at 16“That gives me a lot of confidence. Giving my life for the Club is very important, and you always have to stay focused on your goals. In the end, that bears fruit. The coach used to say that we had to fight harder than the others, and that was what I did, so they trusted in my ability to do more and do better.”

The feeling of being a Champion“I don’t even remember what I felt. I just started running, because it was the first time I had won two trophies in one season and that is never easy. It’s very difficult.”

The third clean sweep“It was something very important to achieve that right at the start of my career, but there is still a long way to go. Now I have to keep going. I felt that everyone deserved it.”

The best moment of the season“When we scored the second goal at Benfica’s ground. The draw was enough to give us the title, and it was very good to be able to celebrate at our rival’s home.”

A Dragon at heart“FC Porto is in my blood. I have felt like a Porto supporter since I arrived here, and I no longer have the words to describe what I feel for this Club, which has been very important to me.”

Self-portrait“I’m a player with grit.”

Pleasantly surprised“I never thought I would achieve so much, I couldn’t even imagine it, but life is like that and it takes many turns. Fortunately, I managed to find a wonderful club.”
