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

On Wednesday, FC Porto published a video of the celebrations for Luuk de Jong’s 35th birthday, on a workday already focused on the upcoming Clássico against Sporting.

Less than a month after being surprisingly signed by the board led by André Villas-Boas, and left out of the presentation match against Atlético de Madrid (1-0), the Dutch international received a commemorative plaque from Diogo Costa, after having thanked everyone for their affection, even giving a speech… in ‘Portuñol’.

“Thank you all. I am very happy to be here. Let’s continue together with what we are doing. Thank you.”

It should be noted that Luuk de Jong has been used by Francesco Farioli in all three official matches played so far, having started in the last game, against Casa Pia (4-0), due to the absence of the injured Samu Aghehowa. The experienced striker is still searching for his first goal for the Dragons.

It is worth remembering that FC Porto has claimed three victories in the first three rounds, without conceding a goal, and now faces a tough test against rivals Sporting, this Saturday, at Estádio José Alvalade.
