A BOLA – «FC Porto is much more underpowered than the opponent, not even the circus fed by the press in Lisbon can deceive» (FC Porto)
This Sunday, the publication Dragões Diário, from FC Porto, praises the victory over Estoril, with a turnaround, on a Saturday «à Porto with victories in every game».
«One day in Porto, with victories in every game, had as its highest moment an epic rerun * in Estoril. At half-time, FC Porto trailed 2-0 at Amoreira, in the 84th minute they were still trailing 2-1, but over the 90s they were already winning 3-2. Involved in the three blue and white goals, the returning Luis Díaz scored the second, was at the origin of the first – by Taremi – and assisted for the third – by Francisco Conceição. [*Se acha o adjetivo exagerado, recorde que esta foi apenas a segunda vez na história que o FC Porto acabou por vencer um jogo fora de casa em que perdia por 2-0 ao intervalo. A primeira aconteceu em 1976, no Estádio da Luz.]», says the Dragons newsletter, which also leaves a peck to the previews made to the game, more ‘inclined’ to the unavailable Estorilistas – at the press conference Sérgio Conceição also warned that he also had several absentees:
“These three points were special for several reasons, first because they meant that the team isolated itself at the top of the championship, with a three-point advantage over Sporting, and ended the first round of the league undefeated. But also because it is a victory achieved in difficult circumstances, against a strong Estoril that has already stolen points from a title contender, and with FC Porto much weaker than the opponent – a fact like the circus fed by the Lisbon press over the past week may go on eluding. »
