Eirik Granaas on FC Porto scenes: “Bigger than Norway's national day…” | OneFootball

Eirik Granaas was amazed when he saw the images of the celebrations for FC Porto’s recently won title. The 16-year-old midfielder, signed from Fredrikstad in Norway, admitted he had already seen some clips when he arrived in Porto to sign his contract, but confessed that when he watched the full video, he was left speechless.

“This is incredible, there are so many people. They showed me a few videos as soon as I arrived, they were very proud, but this is the first time I’ve seen the whole clip. It’s crazy. There were 600,000 people. This is bigger than Norway’s National Day,” Granaas said in a Q&A on FC Porto’s social media.

Asked about several goals that have marked FC Porto’s history, Granaas watched all of them closely, from Rabah Madjer’s backheel in the Vienna final to Kelvin’s goal against Benfica, but he ended up highlighting a trivela from Ricardo Quaresma against Paços de Ferreira. All because Mustang was one of the players he admired most for his technical quality.

“Quaresma! When my friends and I play and shoot like that, we say it was a Quaresma shot. I’ve seen videos of him scoring goals like that, including on social media. It’s incredible,” said the young Norwegian, also showing surprise at Fredy Guarín’s goal against Marítimo at the Dragão, a strike from outside the box: “What a goal, not even he can believe what he did… This one won a Puskás, right? It’s crazy, a very good goal.”
