At a press conference before the game with Sp. Braga, Sergio Conceição first addressed his family’s stoned car after a duel with Club Brugge, suggesting the situation ended up bothering him. However, the Porto coach makes it clear that he does not consider this moment to be a portrait of Porto fans. “Obviously it was a situation that shocked me and my family. I would like to take this opportunity to thank for the support of all parties that I have received, without any club distinctions, that have given me a word, a gesture of support. I thank you all. Yesterday I had a very touching visit to the IPO. I then had an emotional statement where I said that I would exchange all the victories, achievements and happy moments for the lives of these children. With a family, it’s the same thing. There is nothing more important than my family. I would trade everything that is sporting success for her well-being. There is nothing more to add. I think everyone here sees himself in my words, from someone who has suffered an unpleasant attack, to people who are not directly related to success or not athletic,” he began at a press conference. When asked about the possible motives for this act, the technician admits that he does not know. “I have no idea, the investigation is ongoing. I came here when I was 15 years old, many years have passed. I was a champion as a player, a champion as a coach. In five years, I became a champion three times. The whole structure, technical team and players to be the most titled coach of the club next to Arthur Jorge. For me, this does not count, for people it also seems that it does not. But we cannot cross the line of passion and the will to win, as well as stupidity and the inexpressible. A separate gesture, this is not an example ” he said.
