Gonçalo Borges scored FC Porto’s goal in the 3-1 defeat to Gil Vicente in Barcelos

FC Porto lost 3-1 to Gil Vicente on Sunday at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos in matchday 18 of the league. After the final whistle by referee Fábio Veríssimo, Gonçalo Borges, the scorer of Porto’s goal, acknowledged that this “is a difficult moment for the players, for the coaches, for the directors, for the fans, for everyone.” “At this moment, we need men”, the blue and white winger emphasised.

A resume of the match
“In the first half, we didn’t have many chances, but in the second, we created plenty of opportunities. We tried, we pushed, but we all need to do some self-analysis. It’s a difficult moment for the players, for the coaches, for the directors, for the fans, for everyone. I joined the club when I was 14 and I know what it means to be Porto, what it means to win and to overcome tough moments, but above all, I know what it means to be a man. At this moment, we need men. There won’t be even the slightest lack of dedication.”

A goal and the 2-2 that wasn’t
“I tried to do my part, I always give my all whenever I step on the pitch because I know what it means to represent this club. In the second half, I saw the team with attitude and fighting spirit, but we were just a little short.”

Conversations with the referee
“What we need to do needs to happen on the pitch. I also talked to the referee after the game, but it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t change the result. We need to work and focus on the next match, but above all, we need to think of who we are on the pitch.”

A shared responsibility
“What the players can promise is that they’ll give their all, always. We work every day with the coach, and the blame for these results isn’t just his – we, the players, also bear responsibility.”
