André Villas-Boas: “Transfer approach was precise and measured” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas detailed FC Porto's recruitment policy, which strengthened the team with players like Alberto Costa, Bednarek, Froholdt, and Borja Sainz.

“The approach to the transfer market was surgical and rational, aligned with the club's possibilities, without ever losing sight of the sustainability and financial responsibility we have committed to from day one. Each player signed resulted from a search process focused not only on the player's technical quality but also on personality, competitive maturity, and the ability to interpret and embody the Porto spirit: the will to fight, to face each game motivated, to want to overcome any adversities, and to embrace the club's warrior spirit,” specified the blue and white leader, for whom the “impact is already visible,” in a “more cohesive, resilient, motivated group, happy with the ball, ready to turn their potential into victories and titles.”

At the end of his speech, Villas-Boas addressed the Porto members and fans, “the true strength of the club.”

“It was with immense pride that we saw the season tickets sell out in record time, we feel immense comfort when we see the Dragão full at every game and the many fans who accompany us at away games, feeling a unique energy in the stands. The growing number of members confirms that the Club is thriving, mobilizing. Therefore, I want to express a word of immense gratitude and make an appeal for you to continue being present, with the joy that characterizes you, but with the demanding voice you have always had. We need all of you, not just in easy victories, but especially in moments where more resilience and unconditional passion will be required,” expressed André Villas-Boas, with the assurance that “each game will be treated as a final.”

“Let's, together – management, technical team, squad, and the entire Porto family – fight until the end, with grit, with rigor, and with passion, to put Porto back on top. The challenges will be many, the responsibility enormous, but the will to win is even greater. We will never stop honoring history, but above all, we want to build the future – and we know that future is made with ambition, unity, and an unwavering confidence in who we are,” concluded the president of FC Porto.
