Telmo Pinto: Pressure at FC Porto is the same every year | OneFootball

This Thursday marked the start of pre-season for the national roller hockey double champions, despite the absence of several members who will be competing in the European Championship in Paredes or the U-19 European Championship, such as Tomás Santos. Telmo Pinto admitted that this situation makes preparation “a bit troubled,” but emphasized that “it’s always great to come back” to Dragão Arena. Ready to continue the mission of “winning for FC Porto,” number 5 assured that the Porto team will always “fight for victory” on any rink.

Many absences at the startWe already knew it was going to be a somewhat troubled pre-season due to the many absences we have, both in terms of players and staff. But we’re all eager and it’s always great to come back, to see the faces from last season, teammates and friends. We’re really looking forward to starting and getting back to our routines.

Routines that have to be earnedIt’s always different, the group is almost reduced by half, but what matters is to start again and regain those routines I mentioned.

A homegrown manI want to continue the work I’ve been doing for a long time in this club. I’m happy that we’ve won quite a few titles in recent years. I’m here to play, but above all to win for FC Porto.
