‘Joao Mario can’t facilitate’

The interview, part two – Defensive growth with Conceicao The defense makes sure the development of his friend Joao Mario, whom he considers an unbalanced style. He only regrets not displaying the qualities that made him shine in Madeira.

Determined to show Marítimo’s recognizable value once again, Nanu says it took some time for him to be ruled out at FC Porto and that the surge at right-back didn’t help. However, he feels that he has developed defensively and believes Sérgio Conceição’s coaching staff will have a similar impact on João Mário’s development.

He left FC Porto on loan only. What is your plan for the future?
-Now, you play to the fullest for evolution. We always want the best for our career and I’m working towards that. If something good comes of it, I’m up to the challenge. But my focus is to try to get back to where I was before and show the value people know to me, because I have the conditions for that.
