“At Porto, they tried to destroy my life,” says Rolando. These harsh accusations come from Inter’s new defender arriving on loan from Porto. The 27 year-old Portuguese was interviewed by Radio Antena 1: “I never had a good relationship with Vitor Pereira (his former coach Ed.), I haven’t gotten anything out of working with him and he has made me very disappointed as a person. To all this has also Antero Henriques (Porto’s CEO ed.) contributed. initially, I had a good relationship with Antero at first, but from the moment that Vitor Pereira came it became more complicated. I stopped being captain and a given starting player, they trained me like they were doing me a favor. Someday I want to understand why.”
It all started when he refused to go to QPR: “They decided to send me to a club that struggled to avoid relegation. For me it was wrong and then they told me that I wasn’t part of the project and that I could start looking for a new team. Antero did everything to stop me, I stayed for six months and barely trained to maintain the shape.”
However, he has good things to say about the club’s president Pinto da Costa and describes him as “a gentleman with a good heart. With a president like him you’re ahead of everyone else. He always helped me. He was on my side and said he would help me when the opportunity came up. He showed it by first loaning me to Napoli and now Inter. I thank him for what he has done for me.”
