Without compromising the objective of securing two wins in the two remaining matchdays, there is a strong possibility that João Costa, the third goalkeeper in FC Porto’s pecking order, could end up getting some playing time, either against AVS SAD in Vila das Aves or at the Dragão against Santa Clara.
João Costa was included in the celebrations that followed the win over Alverca, but the truth is that he has not yet played a single minute in this edition of the League, something that could now happen, not least because he has Farioli’s trust. “It is rare to have three experienced goalkeepers, three goalkeepers who are part of the leadership group, players who are raising the standards,” he said in December last year about Diogo Costa, Cláudio Ramos and João Costa.
João Costa could therefore become the 31st player to take part in FC Porto’s 31st championship title, but the list could still grow to 32, since Tiago Silva, a midfielder from the B team, has been a regular presence in training and could also have the chance to pick up a few minutes in the League.
