Matchday 2, another win for FC Porto, which traveled to Vila do Conde this Saturday to defeat Rio Ave (0-2). Back in the starting lineup many months later and playing as right back, Nehuén Pérez paved the way for FC Porto’s victory following a corner kick taken by Gabri Veiga and was named the match’s MVP, an honour that represents “enormous pride”, which is “the result of all the work I’ve been putting in” and which he shared with people at the club who “dedicate themselves to us 24 hours a day.” For now, we have to “keep working as we have been,” since it’s already clear that “it’s going to be a very difficult year,” added the Argentinian defender.

A happy and proud MVP
“I’m very happy, it’s been a very tough year and long months. Returning to the starting lineup and winning this award is a source of immense pride. It’s the result of all the work I’ve been putting in.”

A goal with a special dedication
“When I scored the goal, I looked for the people who helped me and who have been very important to me. Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. Here at the Club, we have people who are dedicated to us 24 hours a day, and I’m very happy to share this with them. I’m very proud.”

Starting as a right back
“At this club, you have to adapt wherever you’re needed. I try to help the team, the coach, and the club, and you can count on me wherever I’m needed. I’ll never lack heart or determination.”

Accustomed to scoring in Vila do Conde
“This is the second goal I’ve scored here, but, on the first time, we tied the game. Today, fortunately, we came away with the win, and I’m very happy.”

Game by game
“The truth is, we have to keep working. We’re very united as a group, and we already know it’s going to be a very difficult year, we’ve seen that in the first few matchdays. We have to keep working just as we have been.”
