De Jong marks 35th birthday at FC Porto, gives speech in ‘Portuñol’ | OneFootball

FC Porto released a video this Wednesday, showing the celebrations of Luuk de Jong's 35th birthday, on a workday already focused on the Classic match against Sporting.

Less than a month after being surprisingly hired by the board led by André Villas-Boas, outside the presentation game against Atlético de Madrid (1-0), the Dutch international received a commemorative plaque from Diogo Costa, after thanking for the affection received, even giving a speech... in 'Portunhol'.

"Thank you all. I am very happy to be here. Let's continue together with what we do. Thank you"

Note that Luuk de Jong was used by Francesco Farioli in the three official matches played so far, having started in the last match, against Casa Pia (4-0), due to the absence of the injured Samu Aghehowa. The experienced forward is still looking for his first goal for the blues and whites.

Remember that FC Porto has won three victories in the first three rounds, without conceding goals, and now faces a trial by fire against rival Sporting, this Saturday, at José Alvalade Stadium.
