Alberto: "Goal? At the time I didn't even realise it was mine" | OneFootball

Alberto Costa, player of FC Porto, spoke to SportTV after the 4-0 victory against Casa Pia, in the third round of the League, and made several observations about the match and his adaptation to the club.

Regarding the goal and the assist, he said: «What matters is that it was a team goal. At the moment I didn't even realize it was mine, as I touched it, but what matters is that it was our goal.»

About the absence due to injury of Samu and Pepe, he mentioned: «I don't call it pressure having lost those players, because if one is missing, the teammate next to him will be ready to step up. All players are important and I want to dedicate this victory to all the injured and those who came in, because they came in very well. They gave everything they had on the field and that's how a group is formed.»

Asked about his trajectory – from V. Guimarães to Juventus and now to FC Porto – and about any additional pressure, he stated: «Last year I started, seized the opportunity, and made a big leap. Now I came here, made another leap. I want to do my job and bring joy to the fans, who are incredible. Thank you so much for the full house, because it gives a lot of strength.»

About the classic with Sporting, he commented: «Another tough game, like this one. We will have a week of work and enter with the same ambition and determination as we do in every game.»
