Just 48 hours before the elections for the presidency of FC Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa made use of the opinion space he signs in the magazine Dragões to list the reasons that "lead to facing what is coming with optimism". "In the sporting plan, we had the opportunity to ensure that one of the greatest talents of Portuguese football will continue with us, Francisco Conceição, who, besides being an excellent player, is an example of an athlete with a blue and white heart", began by writing the maximum leader of the blue and white team. "A short while ago, we also renewed with two extraordinary goalkeepers, Gonçalo Ribeiro and Diogo Fernandes, and with a very promising full-back, Martim Fernandes", he added, before highlighting the start of the works of the new Academy. "In a year and a half, FC Porto will have the best sports complex in Portugal dedicated to the training of young people. If, today, despite some difficulties, we manage to train players who reach the main team and the national team in large numbers and who have very positive performances in international junior competitions, I have no doubt that, with the Academy, we will have unique conditions to have even better teams", he added.
