André Villas-Boas’ full speech on the new president of FC Porto:
Excellencies and Gentlemen Guests, Dear Friends,
In this way we will get to know all the members of the leaders and beyond the social organizations, all the coaches, team captains, players, athletes, officials and collaborators, as well as all the members, fans and sympathizers of our race. that FC Porto presents here.
Let me have such emotion and gratitude that I will also meet everyone who knows they are in the spirit. To all the others who dignify this Club with their effort to make it worse!
A basic establishment for the social and cultural progress of the city, the northern region and the country, bearer of the values and concepts of our other peoples and our culture.
Being a Portista is a state and it is the unity that we find here.
Today we are living a new era in the history of our club.
It is a commitment, and of all of us who are part of my team, to lift the FC Porto squad, convinced of the high criteria of all the players and the respect for the importance of their achievements.
Today we have an electoral cycle, governed by energy and the Socios will imprint an ancient history on the regime of Futebol Clube de Porto.
We will know that we are resisting the 3 basic pillars that force this new control to rise to a level of trust in our repository:
– The first, from FC Porto dos Associados, representative of its generation, representative of the emotion and love of the user in this institution. A Club of Societies and for Societies;
– The second, the champion of FC Porto, indomável, immortal, feared by his adversaries, who plays in every field and in every modality to win;
– The third, the modern, daring, organized, structured and financially supported FC Porto!
Not all of us love FC Porto and we all love them. O First place always!
During the last week, we stamped in the letters of our club the maximum pages of the life of the associativism of our club.
The election of April 27 was decorated in an exemplary way and this was imaginable by the unprecedented determination of the leaders and collaborators of FC Porto as presidents and delegates at the table and the effort of contagion of all those who paint so that their correspondent is orderly and transparent.
Greetings to the irreprehensible of the President of the Bureau of the General Assembly or Dr. Lourenço Pinto.
It is also solemn, democratic because he is sure that His Excellency is honoured, it is a historical account, because, in the call of all the porters, his dedication, his paintings and his courage have stood out.
Thanks to him I have an organization as the 32nd president of FC Porto.
I assume this position, legitimized by sufficient support. I voted for the election of more than 27,000 members, a primary vote in the history of the Club.
This has allowed us to remain strong and that “Só Há um Porto” is what we outline and defend.
We fight for this Clube Together, at the same time as the bar, to take revenge on everyone, not only those who set the pace, but also those who set the future!
I feel honored and proud by terem confiado et escolhido o nosso projeto para o Clube. From you, Partners, Adepts and Sympathizers, I hope to reach you.
From me, from all to all the team, I guarantee your empenho, dedication and love to FC Porto. We are here and we are here to serve, with the dedication of body and soul, with work, with a vision that we will bring to modernity knowing that the road will be hard, but with your support we will triumph.
We also invite you to feel emotion.
There are no words to notice everything that FC Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, does. The President of the Presidents is not a metaphor! It is memory, it is respect and gratitude, but it is an outstanding work, vitoria et gloria.
An exclusive “maid” that makes you think and introduces you:
“Este é o FC Porto que votre deixo, cuidem dele”.
Jorge Nuño Pinto da Costa: We will also go to the beach.
Its acceptance as true is eternal and will be respected.
I want now to deixar-vos umas words about the future.
In this world, permanent control demands the ability to adapt and respond quickly. FC Porto is a very delicate phase of its ability to sustain itself in the long term. The road to recovery will be long, but it is a primary duty that we assume with the strength that is the hallmark of the portistas. The long run is one of opportunity and expansion supported by price creation that will necessarily be maximized.
We are almost and have a transparent vision and an explained mission for the club. Rigour, excellence and competence will be shown as hallmarks of our work.
A special speech for the members of the team, including Dr. António Tavares, Dr. Angelino Ferreira, Dr. Fernando Freire de Sousa, as well as our Vice-Presidents and members of the Executive Council and the other social organizations that make up the exclusive leadership of this quadrennium. We are here to take on the duty of courage and spirit of honor project with the price of club prices. Exijam de mim tal como eu vous exige de vocês. They will have to work for the Club, its officers and affiliates and use their strength to achieve success!Come of age!
A verbal exchange between us. This Club is ours and will continue to be so. Herdámo-lo dos nossos pais e avós, prouds of the values that pass us by;
There are no gifts, we are all here united to fight to keep coming. Our long-term – I say our own destiny – is one day, but it is too late to deliver it in the first place and in the first half of the year.
Our project is to prepare groups with a strong “Portuense” identity, competent, professional, capable of succeeding and knowing how to improve themselves and that our athletes barely enter the field and so on with their previous positions in life.
It’s a great commitment! A Pact of Sangue and Soul of Futebol Clube do Porto!
I can’t end this speech without making a speech about the meaning of FC Porto SAD’s management!Your renunciation will never be an act of flight, but also a noble act like your elevation.
The Club has two presidents, but one president is an elect who will explain to the Members in their change. He will inevitably move towards building the most powerful FC Porto in the long term and he is sure of what his Excellencies want.
To all the affiliates of FC Porto, to all the porters and to all the members present here, we have been summoned during today’s whirlwind, a historic occasion in the long history of FC Porto!
Só Há um Porto!
Long FC Porto!
