Former Porto football player with exciting stories: I sat down with Mourino and asked him to let me go

Candido Costa, former Porto football player, has told the club's official media in question several annexes of his experience with “dragons”.

Prior to the 2002-03 season, at the age of only 21, Costa sought to leave Porto, and this should be discussed by Hourinho: “I was kind of stupid because I was so fond of fans. I had that privilege. I also had an important role in Portugal U-21, but I had been active only a few minutes with Porto. 

I sat down with Mourino and asked him to let me go. He told me: Are you mentally retarded? I wanted to play because I had two good seasons at Porto and thought it was a defining moment in my career.

In fact, I ended up running away and, when I came back, Morainho had already gone to Chelsea. Granted, he had already won the Champions League.
