Alex Telles scored a goal and did an assistance in the victory over Marítimo (3-0), for matchday 26 of the 2019/10 League. At the end of the match, the left fullback was pleased with another victory for FC Porto, with his performance, and with the recent call-up for the Brazilian national squad.

Two finals overcome
“Since the match against Roma, this has been a good moment for me. It has been the proof of a lot of work and dedication, not just mine, but also of the entire team. Like we said a few weeks ago, there were ten finals left and we won two. We want to win the other eight.”

Complete confidence from the coach
“We believe in our work, in the quality of every player. The coach gives us full confidence, regardless of the situation we are in. It will be like this until the end, and we have to do our job, so we can be in the lead of the championship when it’s all over.”

Intelligence and patience
“It seems easy to play against 10 men, but it’s not. The opponent moved back and made our life harder. After the break, we were smart, we were patient, we worked more calm and that’s how we did it. I was happy to have scored that penalty, but congratulations to the entire team.”

Bring called to Brazil
“I was happy to be called to the national squad, it’s an objective of mine since I was a kid. FC Porto opened the doors for this opportunity. I am eternally grateful to the club. This is a new stage now, a new path, and I will use all my strength to grab this opportunity.”

The importance of the support of the fans
“It’s a wonderful feeling. The energy at home is great, the team plays better with the support. We had a full house and that makes the difference. I am happy to have helped with a goal and an assistance, but I want to praise everyone’s work, everyone’s effort in fighting for the result and this victory.”
