“Taremi? As you saw today, he is a fantastic professional”

“The main objective of these players will have to be to represent the club in the best way. I’m talking about great ambition, commitment and all that. But I think we entered the game without shine, without pleasure, and when we don’t combine all of that, It’s harder for me to understand what we’re doing. We were lacking in the first 15 minutes and then we managed to do it. I think we should start the game in a different way, even though the players were professional and ran to win the game”, he began to say Sérgio Conceição.

The blue and white coach also spoke of how lucky the athletes are to be able to follow the world of football. “The players do what many people want and can’t do, we have to make the most of that, regardless of the competitions”, he said, leaving, however, encouraging words for Gonçalo Sousa: “For various reasons, injuries and punishments, we look at the game and decide having Gonçalo on the bench. He’s just another kid and I’m happy for his debut”, said the Dragons’ coach.

In a good-humored tone, Sérgio Conceição reminded António Oliveira, who placed him on the sidelines, to address the goal tally that Francisco Conceição equaled while playing for FC Porto. “If I played up front I would certainly have scored a few more goals. It’s good that the family stays connected to this great club that is FC Porto. It’s a huge pleasure, but I’m happy for Francisco, as well as for Martim, Gonçalo and all the kids who are an asset to the club”, he highlighted.

Finally, Sérgio Conceição spoke about Taremi and the transfer to Inter at no cost. “As you saw today, he is a fantastic professional. He played as if he had 10 years on his contract and I think that for me that is the most important thing. It would be stupid not to use him. If I think he is important to start the game, he will start. If If you think you should go to the bank or go home, that’s it”, he concluded.
