“It was a great season and we want to match it or do even better” | OneFootball

“Pre-season is the first step of the whole campaign,” so Salvador Gomes acknowledges the importance of “training sessions being more intense so that the team is ready for the fast pace it will face.” At the start of FC Porto B’s preparations, the 18-year-old defender did not hide his excitement about “being able to learn from the older players” and voiced his desire to repeat the success of 2025/26 “or do even better.”

Back in action“It’s always very good to get back to training. Of course, it’s also good to have our holidays so we can rest a little, but getting back to doing what we love is always very good.”

The first step“Pre-season is the first step of the whole campaign and it’s very important that we start well. It’s also very important for the training sessions to be more intense so that we’re ready for the season and for the fast pace we’re going to face.”

Porto’s high standards“We know this phase is more difficult and that they will always push us harder, but it’s something that will help us in the future.”

An opportunity to learn“There are older players and we learn from them. For us, who are younger, it’s a pleasure and a source of pride to be here. It’s a good opportunity and we’re very happy. Doing pre-season with the B team is very important, I think it will really push us. I also know it’s going to be more difficult, because it’s a stronger pace, but it’s something that will help us develop and it’s a good opportunity.”

The Second League“We know it is much more demanding and much more difficult in every aspect, but it will be good for us.”
