Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 coach Andre Villas-Boas has backed Lucho Gonzalez’s return to Estadio do Dragao and said that the player would inspire the club to turn around their woeful season.
Ever since the departure of the Portuguese tactician, Porto have been falling apart. The script was already written when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 left and its execution began with the beginning of the campaign.
New manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marc-Janko-c23484.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, the club hastily agreed.
The Argentine International is remembered fondly for his performances in a Dragao shirt, as he led the team to multiple glories from 2005 to 2009. The combative midfielder was the skipper during his stint and a pivotal figure in the centre of the park, from where he dictated the tempo of every game he played in.
A true leader, his return brought even the most stern of fans to their seats and alongside the Portista faithful, Andre Villas-Boas has also reiterated his admiration for the 31-year-old.
Speaking to reporters, the trainer said that the Sky Blue International had already proven his abilities during his four years in the Primeira Liga and he will help make Porto an even stronger side.
"Lucho is a leader and he always has been. He is a player who has had a big impact at the club and he will help a group that is already very strong, to grow even further.”
He also added that the player led by example and his rejoining the team was of crucial importance to the club at this point.
"Lucho is an inspiration. He was one of the captains of FC Porto and his return is very important,” the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss was quoted as saying.
Lucho Gonzalez returns to Porto, who are five points adrift of Benfica in the title race. A healthy lead which will be difficult to overcome unless the Commander still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
