Francisco J. Marquez, Director of Communications at FC Porto, remarks on the program Universo Porto de Bancada, on the Porto Canal.
“There was a confrontation between fans that caused injuries. It was a serious case, as there was even talk of an attempted run over, referring to Piccini’s death in 2017. It was very dangerous and was more or less clearly passed by the Portuguese media. Aware of the constant and perpetual persecution of FC Porto. The aim is to harm Pinto da Costa and the club itself. There are a number of very dangerous situations with other clubs, which also include attacks on journalists. Unacceptable, Francisco J. Marquez, Director of Communications at FC Porto, said in the Universo Porto program De Pancada, on the Porto Canal, on Tuesday: “FC Porto cannot stand idly by.”
“Pedro Pinho is known to be a FC Porto fan and has already been taken off as a businessman. And in the case of Paulo Gonçalves, why did the FPF not do anything ?, asked the Porto manager.” Benfica, we are talking about someone who will be tried for corruption, but that did not prevent him from obtaining the license and had an impact on several transfers of players. The FPF has no problem proving the suitability of that person. But Pedro Pinho already has it. There are always two weights and two scales. The only rule in Portuguese football is to disrespect FC Porto. We want to exaggerate what happened in Moreira de Konigos, and we tried to link FC Porto and its president to the episode. “
