Nico González has not yet established himself at Porto. The midfielder left Barça this summer in search of continuity in one of the important clubs in Europe. A bet that had to definitively catapult him into his sporting career. But things are not going as expected.
He started out as an important piece in Sergio Conceiçao’s schemes, but things changed after a disappointing draw at home against Auroca in the Primeira Liga.
Since then, Nico’s role has been residual, to the point that In the last Champions League match against Royal Antwerp he did not play a minute and in the following League match, against Gil Vicente, he was not even called up.
This Friday, the ‘dragoes’ faced a Taça de Portugal tie against Montalegre, a modest Third Division team. Sergio Conceiçao reserved several starters for the visit to Montjuïc on Tuesday, but no god the alternative to Nico.
The former Barça player came onto the pitch in the 59th minute, replacing Galeno, with the match already resolved. Porto was winning 3-0 at that time with an initial goal from Nameso and a double from Evanilson. The locals would still round off the win with a fourth goal from Fran Navarro.
The prospects of Nico starting Tuesday’s game against Barça are slim. and, given that he was not even a starter in the Cup, it cannot be ruled out that Sergio Conceiçao may even leave him out of the squad. Bad times for Nico.
