William Gomes: “We really wanted it and knew it would go in” | OneFootball

William Gomes, who provided the assist for the opening goal in FC Porto’s win over Arouca, underlined the importance of the three points earned by the Dragons, especially in a match where their finishing fell short of the chances they created.

“I think we played a good game, we created a lot of chances, it was one of the games where we created the most. We were just missing that little goal, but we were strong and we knew it would come. We worked very hard during the week and, thank God, it happened, with Pepê getting an assist and Gabri scoring,” he told Sport TV.

Did the fact that Arruabarrena was in great form make the attack lose confidence?

“That’s what I just said, we really wanted it and we knew the ball was going to go in. The more chances we had, the more opportunities we were going to have to score.”

Did Arouca’s previous performance serve as a warning?

“We knew about their quality, they’re a good team, they gave us a tough game last year. We worked well during the week and managed to get the win.”

Did the team learn from what happened last season?

“Yes, but it’s a new league campaign, everything we did is behind us, we’re writing a new book, a new story, and we want to be champions again.”

Do you want to leave a message for Rodrigo Mora?

“I think Rodrigo was a good teammate, he helped me a lot when I arrived, he’s one of my best friends in the squad and I wish him lots of luck, because he has quality.”
