Sergio Conceicao had a date with history on Saturday and he didn’t miss it. On the day of consecrating the 30th National Champion title, FC Porto won and crossed the 90-point barrier (even one more point), an unprecedented achievement in national football.
The stage has been set. A pinecone stadium to salute the heroes, in a festive atmosphere where everything will be allowed. Conceicao, though, didn’t make it easy. He had the 11th best at the start, except for the position specified in the goal, because only then would it be possible to give banners to the other two goalkeepers in the team as well as Diogo Costa and Marchesin (who will be in the Portuguese Cup final). Claudio Ramos was the start and near the end Mexedo also played. It’s all like a movie script with a happy ending.
The bet at the eleventh celebration demonstrated Conceicao’s ambition: to leave a new mark on the club and on Portuguese football. However, the first part was folded, which is understandable given the festive atmosphere. Evanilson’s abilities, bruaás for the interventions of Zaidu, the new Dragon Hero, and much more. It was precisely from the feet of the Nigerian team in which he was born first for FC Porto, but already in the second half: a fatal cross that Estoril defender Joao Zinho equalized for his goal. If it wasn’t for him, Evanelson would have been well behind in the turn.
After the appearance of the cork, the best port in the game appeared. And a closer version of what the team was during the season. A score of 2-0 was imminent in several moves, one after another. But the ball did not enter again until near the final whistle, pushed by Fernando Andrade, one of the four players who did not play in the league this season. The others are Claudio Ramos, Francisco Mexedo and Ruben Semedo. Perfect afternoon in Dragão. Then the party continued.

On Saturday, Sergio Conceição said, “The focus is as much as possible on preparing for the Portuguese Cup and then it will show.” ..
