Pepe’s expulsion and FC Porto’s emotional loss was the topic of Sérgio Conceição’s press conference, which served as a preview of the reception to Famalicão, this Saturday.
«Nervous, I like it. Being connected to the game is essential. Now, irritation with what we cannot control only harms us. It doesn’t get us anywhere. The players have to understand that,” Conceição began by saying, at Olival, before immediately praising the captain, who saw a straight red card for protests in the defeat against Vitória, on the last round:
«Unfortunately, only a part is valued. Many years will pass and there won’t be another Pepe. At 41 years old, someone so competent, so competitive, with so much quality that he demonstrates. He lives the game with a lot of emotion, a lot of passion. He has a long career, with three Champions Leagues won, and he still managed to be so in the game against Estoril that he could commit an excess. I’m talking about Pepe, but Cristiano Ronaldo was recently sent off. We should thank God for having people like this and the opportunity to live with them. I was in the selection with Eusébio, with our Bibota [Fernando Gomes] I also lived with them, but I didn’t play with them. I would like to last another 140 years to occasionally catch a figure like that. I’m living the story with Pepe. And I did it with Cristiano.”
FC Porto will face Famalicão this Saturday, starting at 6 pm. You can follow the game EVERY MINUTE on More football.
