Petit, former player and current commentator, considered that Gonçalo Paciência deserves a chance in the Portuguese National Team. The statement was made at a press conference after the match between Arouca and Santa Clara, which ended 2-1 in favor of the Azoreans.
The match from the sixth round of the Primeira Liga was played this Sunday at the Municipal Stadium in Arouca. Petit spoke following the player's performance during the game.
Gonçalo Paciência, Portuguese striker, has been the subject of debate regarding his call-up to the National Team. Petit thus joined the voices of others who defend that the player should have more opportunities serving the national team.
