Portuguese international Otavio was voted Football First League Player of the Year for the 2022/23 season this Thursday, the midfielder’s last season at Porto before moving to Arab club Al Nasr.
Otavio made 27 appearances last season, 25 of which as a starter for the Blues, scoring five goals and seven assists, he was a prominent figure in Sergio Conceição’s team, although he failed to retain the title. .
With Porto, where he arrived in 2014, he won nine titles, including three national ones, and, already a naturalized Portuguese, became a regular in the Quinas selection.
The 28-year-old was not present as he was in training for the national team that will face Slovakia on Friday, but left a video thank you message for the award.
“I am very proud to receive the award for the best player in the League 2022/23. I would like to thank all the coaches and captains for their votes, as well as those with whom I share the field. I would also like to leave a message to the League of Portugal, FC Porto, to all his “staff”. They made me a better player and a better person, and thanks to that I received this award,” he thanked.
The Liga Portugal Awards took place this Thursday in Alfandega do Porto for the first time, honoring the outstanding people in Portuguese football in the 2022/23 season.
