During the training session held on Friday morning, the FC Porto squad received a visit from Aloísio. The former central defender of the Dragons, aged 62, reunited with teammates and delivered a speech to the group, in which he highlighted the club's stature.

“I spent 11 years at FC Porto. There is no club bigger than FC Porto, take advantage of the opportunity, because the club's mentality is to win... or win,” emphasized the Brazilian, in statements broadcast by the Dragons' media, making sure to stress: “It is a special club, a different club. This jersey is very heavy, it is very special.”

Aloísio appeared emotional and assured that he closely follows the club's journey: “I watch all FC Porto games in Brazil. I remain a Porto supporter, it is the club of my heart.”

It should be remembered that the former central defender, who joined FC Porto in 1990, played 474 games wearing the Dragons' jersey, surpassed only by João Pinto (588) and Vítor Baía (567) on the podium of players with the most appearances. He won seven Portuguese championships, seven Super Cups, and five Portuguese Cups.
