Mora: Transfer window is past, happy to stay at FC Porto | OneFootball

Rodrigo Mora admits that the defensive demands of Francesco Farioli have contributed to his status as a substitute this season. The FC Porto midfielder claims to be working on this aspect and highlights the team's positive start.

"It's going well, we have a very strong team. We have a coach with new ideas and it's going well. The fans are with us. FC Porto has signed many players and it's better for the group. We had a very difficult year, but it's in the past. I believe this will be a good year," said the under-21 international in an interview with Canal 11.

Mora says he feels "very grateful" for the fans' support and admits that he was not oblivious to the transfer market news, including interest from Al Ittihad.

"I try to abstract myself from everything and not care, because whatever has to happen, happens. That's in the past. I'm very happy at FC Porto and I'm going to stay at my club. I don't usually care, but it always reaches me, because someone sends it to me. I tell people not to even send it to me because I don't really like to see it," he confessed.

The player plans to stay at the club and become a reference point among the fans. "Diogo Costa is already [a reference at FC Porto], he's our captain. It's my club, where I grew up and trained. It would be an honor to be a reference of FC Porto."

Mora, 18 years old, has played three games this season for FC Porto - one as a starter and two as a used substitute. Last season he played in 35 matches for the main team and scored 11 goals.
