FC Porto manager Sergio Conceicao was seen confronting Shoya Nakajima angrily after their 3-2 win over Portimonense on 15 September.

After going two goals up, Porto allowed Portimonense to come back to 2-2 in a short span of three minutes, before Ivan Marcano scored a dramatic late winner to secure the victory.

At the final whistle, Conceicao went after Nakajima and continually barked at the midfielder. Jesus Corona and Otavio intervened to calm their clearly incensed manager. The scene played out in front of the Portuguese media.

At the post-match press conference, Conceicao said, “The manager always conveys instructions from the bench to help the team. But sometimes, that makes the game harder. I’m sure if you love football, you’ll understand what I’m trying to say.” And when asked about why he yelled at Nakajima, he simply responded, “This is just a matter we should discuss.”

Online discussions speculated that Nakajima did not press from the left, which resulted in Portimonense’s right-back Koki Anzai scoring the 77th minute equaliser.

While it is unclear at this time what triggered Conceicao about Nakajima, it seems the summer signing has yet to gain the complete trust of his manager.
