Daniel Podence sits down with A Bola to speak about his return to Alvalade

Daniel Podence has been making quite the name for himself, but the skillful forward isn't about to relax just yet. Speaking in an interview with the A Bola newspaper, the youngster affirmed his drive to improve and earn his place amongst football's top names.

"Quality has nothing to do with needing to put more or less work in. I always do my best and it isn't because some of my teammates are worth 20 million euros that we will perform differently. I work because that is what we have to do and not because we have to be better than someone else", opened Podence.

For the youngster the League Cup win while on loan with Moreirense was memorable, but his focus is now on Alvalade: "I was really happy to win the League Cup, but also because I am back at Sporting CP. It is always nice to hear the coach say he believes in you and if the coach believes in me then all I have to do is my best."

Podence finished with a comment on Bas Dost and his chase for the European Golden Boot: "Bas Dost encourages us and never has anything negative to say. He has helped me a lot."
