«It is very special to be able to renew with this huge club and I hope to stay here for many more years. My path is going well, I hope to continue it for longer and play in the A team. That is my main objective and my great reference is Uribe, as we have similar characteristics. My brother and I help each other a lot, we always try to improve by focusing on the positive and negative aspects of our game», says Gonçalo.

«It’s a very happy day, because I know that FC Porto trusts me and I have to take advantage of this opportunity. You have to stay focused and keep working to reach the first team, which is my goal. My main reference is Pepe, because I identify with his attitude on the field, he is someone who helps his colleagues, always gives his all and is a true captain. The relationship with my brother is good, we always help each other on and off the field and make things easier for each other», adds Rodrigo.
