Petit, coach of the Azorean national team, publicly expressed his support for Gonçalo Paciência, stating that the Portuguese forward deserves an opportunity in the National Team. The coach gave wide praise to the player's abilities, recognizing his talent and the impact he could have on the national team.
The statement comes in the context of a conversation about Gonçalo Paciência's performance, who has been demonstrating technical quality and goal-scoring ability at the clubs he has played for. Petit, who knows Portuguese football and its players well, expressed surprise that the forward has not yet had more opportunities serving the National Team.
Gonçalo Paciência, who currently represents Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga, has been one of the most consistent players in the German team. His trajectory includes spells at clubs such as Rio Ave, Porto and Marseille, where he managed to demonstrate his qualities as a finisher and penalty box player.
Petit's support comes at a time when the Portuguese National Team continues to be one of the most competitive in the world, with numerous quality options in attack. However, the Azorean coach believes that Paciência's track record and international experience justify a call-up to the pool of available players to represent Portugal.
