Lisbon not worth it, south of Porto is just like north of Vigo | OneFootball

FC Porto midfielder Gabri Veiga spoke about his early days at the club and the relationship between the city and the team during an interview with Rádio Marca, when the journalist, jokingly, suggested Porto and Lisbon as recommended cities.

In a good-humored way, Gabri Veiga ended up favoring Porto over Lisbon and compared it geographically to areas in northern Spain, close to Porriño, to justify his preferences.

“No, not so much Lisbon (laughs). From Porto downwards is like from Vigo upwards, you reach the North and I don’t recommend it. From Pontevedra to Santiago, yes, but from there upwards, no (laughs),” said the Spanish midfielder, who was trained and stood out at Celta de Vigo before playing for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia and the Dragons.

The 23-year-old player was also asked how he would feel about a possible promotion of Deportivo to the Spanish League, considering he is a “Celta fan.”

“Well… of course, derbies are always good, I didn’t have the chance to experience it except from the stands. On one hand, it would be fine, but as a Celta fan, I can’t be happy about Depor’s successes. But if they go up, it will be good for Galician sport, but as a Celta fan I will never be happy for Depor to win,” he said.
