The reinforcement that gave Salvador more joy: Pinto da Costa called and convinced Jesus

The president of Braga tells how he hired Alan.

António Salvador was present this Saturday in the “two letters” section and answered some questions from the fans. The president of the Minho club was asked about the recruitment he liked best: Alan, the club’s current public relations officer.

“Even because of the way it happened. In the previous year, I had been to Vitória de Guimarães, the few times that Vitória passed us in recent decades. There was a dispute between FC Porto and Vitória’s management,” he began by saying.

“Vitória wanted Alan to stay there the following season, because FC Porto did not have him. Pinto da Costa, my friend, called me to say that Vitória de Guimarães loved Alan, but was not available to borrow it again. He asked me to stay with Alan. I told Jesus that we had that opportunity. He always wrinkled his nose. We had to wait all the preseason. I remember Pinto da Costa called me to ask what it was like. Don’t miss this opportunity. ” He said he was talking to Jesus, that he didn’t have Alan in the planning. He called me back, I gave Jesus the phone, they both spoke and everything was resolved, “he said.
