Villas-Boas: Porto will always honour Jota and André Silva | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas was at the FC Porto Museum to receive the trophies won by the Vintage teams (Liga Portugal Legends), goalball (championship, Super Cup and Portuguese Cup) and eSports (men's and women's championship, eLiga Cup and first stage of eLiga Portugal).

In the blue and white historical gallery, the club's president praised the "achievements, victories, titles, effort and many hours of dedication" of the athletes and "the entire structure that works for these moments of glory". Recalling the "unprecedented and historic triple" of goalball, André Villas-Boas also highlighted the successes in eSports and ensured that "FC Porto will always honor the names of Diogo Jota and André Silva".

To the FC Porto Vintage group, winner of the Liga Portugal Legends, the manager wished "many more trophies" and left an emotional thank you: "Your effort is contagious, age is not passing by you and you continue with the same desire to dignify the FC Porto jersey."

Examples of overcoming "I want to thank you from the heart for these titles. You have been exemplary in the continuation of FC Porto's eclectic success. We are well represented by these achievements, victories, titles, effort and many hours of dedication."

Athletes, staff and structure "Thanks to the technical teams, medical and support staff, to the entire structure that works to help you and to the athletes, for these moments of glory that you lived intensely, as our goalball team demonstrates with the honor of having the medals on their chest. What joy it gives us to see your invincibility continue for another year and this unprecedented and historic triple in the modality."

Management and sponsors "Thanks also to the management of the modalities, to Mário (Santos), to Fernando (Santos), to Teresa (Figueiras), to (Alberto) Babo and to all the people related to the eclectic spirit of FC Porto. Thanks also to the sponsors, namely Coca-Cola, which has the motto 'with the same ambition' and has supported us with that same ambition in the modalities. This will not be forgotten, we are very pleased with this partnership, we prefer our athletes to drink Coca-Cola Zero, but this is a successful partnership."

Special thanks "Thanks also to Betano, Super Bock, Luna and Rute (Cardoso) on behalf of Diogo Jota and brother André Silva, who will leave many fond memories, not only at FC Porto but also in the history of world football. Thank you, Rute, for representing him here today and I wish you all the best. FC Porto will always honor the names of Diogo and André. That is our responsibility and we will be proud to perpetuate them."

Who knows never forgets "Thanks also to our legends, who knew me when I was very young, but youth is still in them. They achieved a great victory against Benfica, marked by Bruno Alves' entry with both feet just 30 seconds in, which left a good sign of what was to come, and by the two good goals from Bruno (Moraes), which made all Portistas proud. Your effort is contagious, age is not passing by you and you continue with the same desire to dignify the FC Porto jersey. May many more trophies come. Thank you on behalf of everyone, it is an honor for us. Long live Futebol Clube do Porto." 🙌
