Jackson Martínez on FC Porto: “The club is rediscovering its identity” | OneFootball

Jackson Martínez, former FC Porto striker, continues to follow the team’s progress closely and believes that “the club is recovering the identity that defines it.”

The Colombian also commented on the title won by the Dragons last season, saying that the club “had a great season.”

“It was a huge achievement, after everything that happened, with a new president and so many changes. I thought it would take a little longer for the team to become settled. The board itself knew it would be a new beginning within the club. But it went well, and FC Porto is ready once again to compete in the Champions League. I hope they have a good year,” said the former player, while following his former side’s match in the Liga Portugal Legends, a competition currently taking place at Estádio do Viveiro – Jordan Santos, in Nazaré.

Without wanting to single out players or comment on Francesco Farioli’s choices — since “individual standouts will depend on how the team functions” — Jackson Martínez believes FC Porto will once again fight for the national title, as it “always does.”

“The squad, as a whole, can improve. There are always things to improve. There were also some injuries that prevented the attack from having more options. But I think FC Porto can compete, adjust what wasn’t done so well, and take precautions to be better prepared this season,” added the Colombian, who scored 92 goals over three seasons with the Dragons.

This Saturday, once again wearing the blue and white badge on his chest, Jackson Martínez will try to lead FC Porto to the Liga Portugal Legends final. The clash with Sp. Braga is scheduled for 5 p.m., after the win against Académico de Viseu.
