Pedro Oliveira: “We want to play with all the fight we've got” | OneFootball

Pedro Oliveira, FC Porto’s left winger, previewed the trip to Vila Nova de Gaia for the match against AD Carvalhos in the fifth round of the league, scheduled for Wednesday at 9:00 pm. The player called for maximum intensity, ambition and support from the stands, making the desired attitude clear: “We want to play with all the fight we have.”

Before the match, Pedro Oliveira delivered a straightforward message: FC Porto must keep up the work they have been doing, take the opponent seriously and look to impose themselves through effort. The formula is to treat every challenge the same and bring that same competitive demand into the game.

As for the mindset the team should take onto the pitch, the left winger pointed to continuity, without giving up the ambition of building a convincing victory.

“It’s about doing the same as we’ve been doing. We want to play with all the fight we have and do our best to win by the biggest margin possible,” he said.

The idea is simple: preserve the team’s competitive identity and turn the collective commitment into a dominant display. Without making promises beyond hard work, Pedro Oliveira set the bar at intensity.

In his assessment of AD Carvalhos, the player refused to give the opponent any different status. For the Porto man, the path to achieving their objectives requires the same approach in every round.

“I wouldn’t say we have to pay special attention. They’re an opponent like any other,” he said. “We have to approach every game in the same way. That’s the only way we’ll be able to achieve our goals.”

There is therefore no room for complacency or for changing the level of commitment depending on the opponent. Consistency in attitude appears as an essential condition for the team to stay on course.

When detailing the recipe for success, Pedro Oliveira once again focused his remarks on the basics: intensity and effort from the very first moment.

“We have to go into every game with maximum intensity and maximum effort. From there, good things will come,” he assured.

The left winger’s confidence is based on performance, not on anticipated scenarios. First comes total commitment; then, he believes, positive results will follow.

Finally, Pedro Oliveira addressed the fans and called on them to be in the stands, highlighting how close the trip to Vila Nova de Gaia is.

“I want to appeal to the fans to come and watch the game. It’s just nearby and I know you’ll always be there for us,” he said.

The appeal rounds off a preview built around three pillars: fight on the pitch, respect for the opponent and support from the stands. For the player, the proximity of the match is also an opportunity for Porto fans to follow the team.
