Back to conferences
“The coach likes to preview games, just like Blinks And conferences after matches. I love being on the bench, that’s my role, I love training. Many of you have been following me here for seven years. “I missed him, yeah.”
FC Porto returns to Ribolera
“It’s traditionally a difficult tournament, I remember that as a player. Let’s take a look at the current team led by Sergio [Vieira], who did an excellent job in taking the team to the first league. They are a very efficient team at different moments of the match. We have to go to this difficult stadium, look at what we did well and face this star who will be motivated to play against a title candidate.
What do you think of the start of the season?
“We, the coaches, always expect more. There have been moments of great brilliance during these years at the helm of FC Porto, when I thought there were things that could be improved. We always expect the best, and I know there are things we need to improve. It is true that we have not lost yet, we In first place, but we can and should do more in terms of results. We played five matches, including the Super Cup, and we could not win them all. We are here to develop the team, to always be competitive, and at the end of the season, we With calculations.
Ruy Moreira’s opinions
There are marginal issues that seem to be of national importance. To the Mayor, out of the respect I have for the city he leads, I don’t think I should respond. To the Vice President of the Supreme Council, I believe that there are suitable people for this purpose, and in this case our president. As for Al-Muayad, he had a leadership role and spoke publicly, and I will respond to him publicly: I think the form and content are bad and misleading. My past is indelible, and cannot be erased. There are 10 titles. In these years, between revenues and expenses, there is a positive balance of more than 600 million euros. We are always subjected to criticism, and this is normal. Real fans, not fake fans, must understand that we are going through a difficult year for the club. We spent a few years under supervision fair play Financial situation, it was very difficult to get out of this situation, thanks to the sporting success associated with good performances in Europe. “This was a deprivation that prevented us, year after year, from retaining our best players and enhancing our capabilities as we wanted.”
Election year in the club
“It’s a tough year, fans have to be smart to understand that in an election year, there are a lot of people who want to take a stand. What can I say? My message goes straight to the true fan, to those who are suffering, to those who are waiting three or four or three years.” Five hours to get his autograph, to those who follow the team in the sun and the rain. We have to be together and united, and if we are not it will be much more difficult. When I see a supporter [Rui Moreira] “If he criticizes, in the way and in the content, he will probably not like this great institution that is FC Porto.”
Expulsion in the Super Cup
“I was sent off, and that’s it. I was punished for that, it’s over, what’s important is Estrella. There was a case of no possible foul, which was clearly a referee’s mistake. It was sent off 20 or 30 meters away, and I didn’t know who it was for.” “The package, then I realized it was mine.”
Controversy surrounds Tarmi and penalties
“The criticism that interests Taremi is criticism from his teammates and the coaching staff, and it is always constructive criticism. That is what interests Taremi, period.
Increase compensation time minutes
I believe the compensation awarded is fair, and this is what everyone was asking for. Our spell in Portugal was one of the lowest in Europe. our [FC Porto] The average time per game is 100 and a few minutes, which is one of the highest, but the useful playing time is the lowest, and that is saying something. I’m not saying that teams play against us, but in our matches, what we want – high pace, high speed, intensity – is difficult. We also have to see how many make-up minutes are actually played.
market
“Some countries have not closed the market yet, which greatly hurts teams with less financial capacity, as you can understand. For those in need, timing It’s always bad. It’s not normal for me to arrive the day before a game and there’s a key player and he’s leaving. I’m talking about Otavio. The whole week of the match with Varense, Otavio was going to play, and on Friday I went to a clinic to have surgery on my knee, which is public. I left the hospital straight from the hospital to Olivall, I was still not feeling well because of the anesthesia and it was difficult to lose a player of his quality. We cannot forget that we lost the championship by two points and the match against Varense was worth three points.”
Joao Moutinho
“Joao had an issue timing. The President spoke to me about this situation. I didn’t look back, because if that were the case I would have to look at Vitor Bailla, Fernando Cotto and Jorge Costa. Given his recent past, it seemed to me that he was still in a position to help us. I spoke with Joao Moutinho on the phone, and with the departure of Otavio, we had to adjust one situation or another within our market, with the capacity that we have in the market, with great difficulties. Which timing It was not the best, especially because in this position, we have Romario Barro, a young player from the team, we have Bernardo Folha, another young man, Nico, a young man in whom the club has invested, Varela, Grujic and Eustaquio. We have six players in the position that Joao occupies. We do not have the ability, as happened with Al-Nassr, to lose two matches and give another 20 million euros to Otavio. We had to talk for two or three days about the ins and outs, and Joao chose to go to Braga. Joao, like Quaresma, like Pepe, are part of the club’s identity. “That was him.”
Do you regret some situations on the field?
“I leave this answer to the Daniel Oliveira program, which has already invited me two or three times and I have not been able to come. I say what I feel. I am not as honest as I could be, I am honest, I say what I feel. Looking back at what I did then [não sair depois da expulsão na Supertaça]Obviously it will change some behaviour. But in that moment I was what I was. My life has been a life of struggle, and I think all the other coaches have also lived a life of struggle and no one likes to lose. But there are some who feel differently. Does this justify everything? “Obviously not”
August difficulties
“Market issues affect the team a lot. Players have a lot of people who gravitate towards their environment and it is not easy to have peace of mind to respond in the best possible way in the game. This does not explain everything, we had a bad start to the matches, we played poorly, in my opinion. In these years, I have given more minutes to players who have worked with us longer at the beginning of the season. The exception was Nico. The quality of the teams is increasingly superior, as is the quality of the technical teams. I prefer, at the beginning of the season, to give more minutes to those who are here than to those who are here. “They pray.”
Hiring Francisco Conceicao
“I’m going to talk about a topic you didn’t ask about. There were a lot of people who didn’t understand the recruitment, and I don’t understand this misunderstanding. Francisco is very good in his game, the way he upsets the balance, a disrespectful player. We needed him, even because of what we have on “Wingers, given Veron’s injury history. It came at no cost. It’s part of the training. If the club has to pay the release clause that’s a good sign. He’s a player I think could be interesting, just like Jorge.” [Sánchez]Right back. We will play six times in 24 days, and we will need everyone, quality people who, like Francisco, know and love the club and the city. I say this because I think there has been some debate about which player can give us the most this season.
