Pedro Lima: “I take pride in wearing my shirt” | OneFootball

FC Porto has confirmed the arrival of right-back Pedro Lima, 19 years old. The Brazilian will work under the guidance of Francesco Farioli, but will join the Dragons’ B team to gain competitive minutes.

Pedro Lima arrives on loan from Wolverhampton until the end of the season. The deal did not involve any costs and does not include any purchase option. The player will wear the number 46 shirt and has already given statements to the club’s channels.

“I play with love, I like to honor the shirt I wear, I respect the history of those who have been here, and I play with great joy, but also with great responsibility because, if I am here today, it’s because I started by playing with the ball, kicking it around, so I can’t lose that joy. However, I know the responsibility I have today and I made that transition, keeping the joy I had since I was a child and now also with greater focus and passion,” the defender introduced himself.

“I am very happy. It’s the fulfillment of a dream to have seen so many Brazilians come through this club, especially Hulk, who is from my hometown. I am very motivated by this opportunity.”

Before moving to Dragão, the player had already contacted a member of the first team: “I spoke with William Gomes last week and I still have to call him to say that everything went well,” he said, also mentioning his international ambitions.

“My goal is to reach the Brazilian national team. No one said it’s impossible, so I work to make that dream come true,” he concluded.
