“We will have to start traveling through Vigo”, threatens Pinto da Costa
The FC Porto president is upset by the delay in FC Porto’s departure for Marseille and threatens to stop traveling from Francisco Sá Carneiro airport.
“We will have to start traveling through Vigo to avoid this setback,” threatened Pinto da Costa, in statements to the newspaper O Jogo, deeply upset by the delay suffered by the Porto team in the VIP area of the Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, in the match by another party. of the Champions League.
Pinto da Costa says it was “a very strange thing”, not least because FC Porto paid to receive special treatment when leaving for Marseille.
“Having paid FC Porto to go to a reserved place, to save the players, the inspection suffered by the players and the entire entourage lasted much more than an hour.”
The National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) carried out, this Tuesday, an inspection of the security procedures in the VIP area of the airport that serves the city of Porto and the north of Portugal, but not only.
The Blue and White delegation, which traveled from Invicta to Marseille, suffered from the limitations of the security operation, which delayed the start and forced the Porto delegation to wait a while.
The game, which was scheduled for 3:30 p.m., ended an hour later, forcing the Blue and Whites to stand for around an hour, while ANAC carried out its work at the airport facilities.
FC Porto may be about to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League today, if they beat Marseille, coached by André Villas-Boas, on matchday four of Group C.
The national champions occupy the second place, with six points, three from the leader Manchester City, and if they repeat the triumph against Marseille (3-0), in Dragão, they take a ‘giant’ step to arrive, for the 12th time, the ‘eighths’ of the ‘Champions’, which are already Chelsea, Sevilla, FC Barcelona and Juventus.
In the preview of this duel, Sérgio Conceição said that he hopes to add the three points in the visit to the Marseille field for the Champions League and, thus, stay close to the classification for the round of 16 of the Millionaire League, remembering that there are to give “. continuity” to triumphs.
