Nikitscher: “FC Porto are a great side” | OneFootball

FC Porto beat Rio Ave 2-0 in a match in which they once again showed great danger from set pieces. It was in exactly that way that Neuhén Pérez scored the first goal, while the strike by Bednarek was eventually ruled out. At the end, Tamas Nikitscher lamented the result, despite highlighting the work done by the team in that area and acknowledging the opponent’s merit.

“I can’t say anything, we work a lot, we prepared the corner, but we fight. We want to make the fans happy, but I can’t say anything. It’s a difficult game, we know FC Porto are a great team, but we have to keep going. We have to work hard and next week we have to win,” he began by saying, in comments to Sport TV.

Asked about the team’s reaction to conceding as early as the 11th minute, the midfielder preferred not to assess the response shown on the pitch. “Honestly, I don’t know, I just want to say that we have to work, to keep going, we have to believe in ourselves and we have to make the fans happy because they deserve it,” he said, also leaving a message of confidence for the future.

“Portuguese football is very complicated, very fast, but we are ready. We worked very hard in pre-season, so we have to keep going and we’ll see. We have to win,” concluded the player, who is in his second season in Portugal.
