André Silva back at FC Porto: “Nothing changes for the club, a lot for me” | OneFootball

How have you been experiencing this return? “It has been intense, nostalgic, and really good. I’m sure it was the right decision. It was an indescribable moment for me. At first it felt like things… like I was still dreaming, it felt as though I was here in Porto just for a few moments, but… that I was going to go back abroad, overseas. Now I’m more… more settled, and I’m happy.”

What sets today’s André apart, as a man and as a player? “In every way. I think all the experience I had abroad, in whatever country, at whatever club I was at, gave me completely different challenges, which I had to adapt to. From a footballing point of view, I trained with different coaches, different players, different ways of thinking and playing. On a personal level, the fact that I was constantly moving house, meeting new people, seeing the world through different eyes, ended up… making me the André I am today at 30, and not the 21- or 22-year-old who left here.”
