FC Porto’s Joao Moutinho claims that his team have always enters a competition with the aim of winning and they shall look to do the same in the League Cup.
The Portistas achieved the highest of highs last year, under the tutelage of Andre Villas-Boas, the club were crowned the champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and also added the UEFA Europa League, League Cup and the Portuguese Super Cup to the trophy cabinet at Estadio do Dragao.
However, with the departure of the tactician and mercurial forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 has done his best to influence proceedings on his own, he cannot guide the team to glory single-handedly.
The likes of Kleber have been indecisive in attack and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira has failed to deliver so far. FC Porto crashed out of the UEFA Champions League after a horrendous campaign in the prestigious European competition and their domestic affairs have been overshadowed by the brilliant performances of arch-rivals Benfica.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’ men lead the Primeira Liga rankings and have also secured passage to the next stages of the UEFA Champions League. Their current form suggests that they are likely to end up as Liga Sagres winners, unless something drastic flips the title race on its head.

Midfielder Joao Moutinho commented on this and said that while his team were eager to win the League Cup, they entered all the competitions with the aim of winning them.
Speaking to reporters, the Selecao International said that his side played a good match against Estoril but still should have done better than the Orangina Liga leaders.
“Estoril came here to try to get a good result. They are a good team, Orangina League leaders. They sought to hinder our work but that did not happen. We played a good game, we scored a goal but we could have done more.”
He also added that the Portuguese giants entered every tournament with the aim of winning and if they continue to secure victories, the League Cup would also be theirs to win.
"FC Porto goes into all competitions to win. If we win every game, we will achieve the League Cup. This is the ambition of the players. We will continue to work to win titles,” the former Sporting Lisbon man was quoted as saying.
With FC Porto out of the UEFA Champions League and facing a tough competition from Benfica in the Primeira Liga, the League Cup is their best avenue for success this season, if they carry on winning like this.
