João Brandão: "We need to be much more intense and very objective in the final third"

Record13 September 2026 at 14:57

FC Porto B coach João Brandão stated that the team needs to be "much more intense and very objective in the final third" of the pitch. The statements come at a time when the team is looking to improve its finishing rates and offensive efficiency.

The coach hopes to capitalize on the momentum from the victory in the Youth League, FC Porto's U-19 European competition. This positive result should serve as motivation for the continuation of the B team's season.

João Brandão acknowledges that the team has shown quality during matches, but identifies the creation and finishing zone as the area that needs the most attention and work. The demand to be more intense is linked to the need to create more clear-cut goal-scoring opportunities.

FC Porto B thus continues its trajectory in Porto's youth system, with the coach seeking to balance the development of young players with competitive results.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to FC Porto fans and Portuguese football followers, as it reveals the expectations and guidance from the coach for the B team, which serves as a base for developing young players. The reference to the Youth League success indicates that the club is investing in youth development and may be preparing a promising generation for the first team.
