Reaching 200 games for FC Porto is a real source of pride | OneFootball

Diogo Costa celebrates the achievement of 200 matches for FC Porto as a special milestone: "it's not for anyone," considers the goalkeeper and captain, adding that the mark "is a reason for pride" is even more enjoyable when achieved at home: "it always tastes better." In the post-game debate on Porto Canal, after the 4-0 thrashing of Casa Pia, the captain emphasized that "everything is possible with work, dedication, and humility," that "the focus is always on the next game" and attributed "much merit" to Francesco Farioli, whom he described as "a coach who surprised me very positively" by introducing "demand, joy, and new energy" to the Club.

200 games in blue and white 🌀? "It's not for anyone. I never thought I could play so many games, no one ever expects this, especially as captain from such a young age, but it's a reason for pride and playing at home always tastes better."

Advice to the younger ones 🤔? "Dreaming big is always good, but going after it is even better. It takes a lot of sacrifice and giving up many things to achieve high performance. Everything is possible with work, dedication, and humility."

Game by game 📆? "Among us, we have to demand and always expect more in relation to the next game, not thinking about the more distant future, and it's up to me, as well as the other captains, to remind our teammates of this. The focus is always on the next game, we have to live very much in the day-to-day and in the present, seeking the best possible future."

Praise for Francesco Farioli 🙌? "We have to give a lot of credit to Coach Farioli, a coach who surprised me very positively. I believe a lot in good daily habits, that's what he brought: demand, joy, and renewed energy above all. It's up to me to train to be as complete as possible, not just to make saves in goal, that's always been my goal. We have to give a lot of credit to our coach for everything that's happening, but humility and intensity in work also come into play here. Sacrifice has to be there always." 🙏
