FC Porto: “Diogo Costa? I’ll help close the airport…” | OneFootball

If Francesco Farioli needs support in convincing Diogo Costa to stay at FC Porto, André Silva is available to help. Speaking to Sport TV, the forward admitted that he wants to keep counting on the presence of the Dragons’ captain and goalkeeper in the dressing room.

“If I can help, I’ll go there with the manager too and help shut it down [the airport and the highways],” the striker noted, offering strong praise for his compatriot, who returns from holiday this Saturday.

“With the national team he left a शानदार message [during the World Cup]. I think he also represented his club well, because of the way he is and how he showed the quality he has. He is a world-class goalkeeper, one of the best, and I’m proud of the work he has done. Here, the fact that he took time out of his holiday to go to Olival showed great discipline and leadership as captain. He showed that he deserves it and that he is working for it,” praised André Silva, who did not rule out the possibility of joining the group of team captains this season.

“To be honest, I hadn’t thought about that… The captain is Diogo, among others who are at the club. But I think being a captain is something that ends up happening, something that ends up being deserved. Right now, my role has been to try to adapt quickly, and FC Porto was probably the easiest club for that to happen. And to try to give my best, to keep shaping my character day by day so that, with that, I can also influence everyone around me and so that we can achieve great things for the club,” André Silva added.
