Gabri Veiga is having trouble finding where he fits best at FC Porto and it’s affecting how well he plays. Even though he can play different positions, the young Spanish player still hasn’t found the right spot that shows off what he can do, which makes people wonder about all the money spent to get him.
- Veiga went from Celta Vigo to Al-Ahli SFC for €40 million
- Then he moved to FC Porto for €15 million which got people talking a lot
- Coach Matthias Jaissle has tried different things with Veiga but nothing really worked yet
Veiga’s Positional Challenges
Gabri Veiga can play lots of different spots on the field and has been used as defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder and left winger. But he can’t seem to find one spot where he really fits in good. This has been going on since he came to FC Porto for €15 million which was kind of surprising to everyone. Coach Matthias Jaissle who likes to switch things up tactically keeps trying different ways to use Veiga better but nothing has really worked out like they wanted.
TWO SEASONS IN SPL… and we still don’t know what Gabri Veiga’s real position is. 🤷♂️
Jaissle tried him everywhere — DM, AM, left wing… and he flopped in all of them. Nothing clicked.
Now at Porto, same story. Playing as a winger and still frustrating to watch this entire first-half of #SEPFCP 🤢
Porto fans, please — why did you pay €16M for him? ’Cause as Saudi League’s fans, we’re still confused.
