“We do not want to enter the Club World Cup with this image. We recognize that PortoTomorrow will be a celebration day, a significant moment for the city, and we want the party to be total. To this end, we need to win tomorrow and provide this joy to our supporters, ”emphasized the coach, who added that“ it is crucial to perform a self -assessment ”and“ maintain humility to understand what is being done inappropriately ”.
A new image“More than focusing on the opponent, we need to concentrate on us. We have to compete differently, because in the last game we could not perform the performance we want, both in attack and in defense. Our pride is injured and we do not want to convey this image. Trich champion of Egypt. We have to do our part well. ”
What does it mean to compete“The term competing is often associated with running, attitude, confrontations… This is quite relevant to compete and without it complicated, but to compete is also to have a game plan and implement it. When we are deviating from this plan, our competition is not desired and we cannot often discuss our mistakes, we are aware of our failures and we cannot let it go. of clubs with this image. We recognize that tomorrow in Porto It will be a party day, a significant moment for the city, and we want this celebration to be total. For this, we need to win tomorrow and provide this joy. ”
The statements of André Villas-Boas“When I arrived, I found a president who is entirely dedicated to FC Portowho is committed day and night, without breaks, no vacation, without schedules… and we too. For us, the FC Porto It is our priority. It is essential to perform a self -assessment, understand what we are not doing well and identifying what we lack. It is necessary to be assertive, but we need to know what the assertiveness we refer to, not to act without purpose. We work daily to do this assertiveness next season, but the first step should be taken tomorrow. I found a club where players and staff understand well what FC is Porto. If we do not have the humility to perceive our mistakes, we will not find solutions. Humility is the keyword. We need to be humble to realize what is being done inappropriately. ”
The squad and the approach“The term system is quite comprehensive. I do not face football in terms of systems, but models and essence. In the squad, there are many players capable of fulfilling the necessary, because the team improves the player and not the other way around. It is evident that we will have to assign new functions and players that will bring something distinct. However, the essential is the next game and then we will think about what comes next.”
Unqualified“In my technical team, we are straightforward and humans, we understand that we work with people who are also soccer players. We want to enhance the best and who also make us improve. I have no problem admitting my mistakes and they also have no problem recognizing what we are doing badly. This is a trusting relationship, where we are all united by a goal. It becomes an entity of its own, but the team is the only one that matters, the team is the only player who has relevant. We finished the league with three wins and there was a set of factors that influenced this world, but this is to talk about justifications and I do not like to approach justifications.
The future“Recognizing if I am able to do my work, if I can change a situation… It’s hard for me to accept defeat. I feel calm about my work and my technical staff. We have a quiet conscience, we give our best for the club, we know what we need and what we need to change next season.”
