Pepê hails his mate William: “He’s got incredible talent” | OneFootball

The connection between Pepê and William Gomes is well known; William scored the goal that gave FC Porto the victory over Salzburg. Pepê is in his fifth season with the club and plays a significant role in his teammate's integration.

"We try to help each other as much as possible. When I first arrived here, I also faced many difficulties, but Otávio and Evanilson helped me a lot to adapt and assist the team in the best way possible. And that's what I try to do with William. I know that the transition from South American to European football is very demanding, the intensity is very high. So both I and the others try to help the younger ones, and this is reflected on the field," explained Pepê, who can't hide his smile when commenting on his teammate's talent.

"William has absurd quality, enormous potential, so we try to give him the best so that he can play calmly and in the way he knows," he added. "He has an above-average decision-making ability. When he gets the ball, we encourage him a lot in training to take on the opponents and do what he does best, which is to finish and go one on one," he said.
