I know exactly how it feels to lose your mother at a young age. Just remember Stephen, she cared for you since birth with so much love. She would want you to continue and to be HAPPY! Força!!

I know exactly how you feel Stephen, that’s exactly how I lost my mom.

This is world class. Steph is world class. As a human, as a teammate and as a footballer.

Sadly Eustáquio's father also passed away last month (probably after this interview was recorded). It has been a tough year for him, but I'm sure he will come out of this stronger! Every portuguese football fan admires his strengh and determination, he is that type of player that never gives up, on and off the field! His parents saw him becoming a great player and a great person, that's every parent's dream, Eustáquio can only be proud of himself! Força Eustáquio! 🤍💙
