Alberto on derby: Tough match ahead against Sporting | OneFootball

Alberto once again delivered a very positive performance for FC Porto against Casa Pia. The full-back, signed from Juventus, was in the starting lineup and, after providing the assist for the second goal, shot for the third; Nehuén Pérez ended up deflecting the ball near the goal and the score was credited to the Argentine center-back. In the end, the 21-year-old admitted that he has integrated very well into the club and already projected the classic match with Sporting, next weekend.

Goal detail

"What matters is that it was a team goal. At this moment, I can't explain well how it happened, but what counts is that it was from our team."

Absences due to injury

"We lost Samu and Pepê, but the teammates were ready to take responsibility. All players are important. I want to dedicate this victory to all the injured players and to all those who played. Everyone played very well, kept calm, and that's how a group is formed."

Integration

"The truth is that I adapted very quickly. Even at the beginning of the season, I was somewhat afraid to debut. I went to Italy, came back to FC Porto. I don't feel pressured. Last year I started, took opportunities, made a big leap, then made another leap and now I just want to do my job and give credit to the fans. They are incredible, I met them again and I thank them immensely. This gives us a lot of strength."

Tasks on the field

"We need to press the opponent as soon as we lose the ball. We are a team that likes to have it, but when we lose it, we have many players behind the ball carrier and we have to recover quickly."

Meeting with Sporting

"We will have a tough game with Sporting, like this one, but we will have a week of work and we will enter with the same ambition. We will always try to give our best in all games."
