“We are going to give everything on the court; FC Porto’s DNA will always be present. This Club lives on victories and that is what we want: to win every game so we can achieve the Club’s objectives, which is promotion,” he says.

A special opportunity

“This is a unique moment, because it is an opportunity that does not come along often or for everyone. That is how I define it and how I hope it will be: unique and memorable.”

The man beyond the player

“I am a fun person, a team person, and responsible. I think that is very important in the dressing room, and that is what you can expect from me.”

A long-standing passion for futsal

“Futsal is something I have done forever; it used to be a pastime and now it is something more serious. I am very happy to be able to combine it with my professional life. For me, it is already a way of life; it is what I like doing and what I feel good doing.”
