André Silva already sold on Farioli: “He’s a Porto-type coach” | OneFootball

André Silva’s return to FC Porto, completed this summer, quickly turned into a very positive experience for the striker, mainly thanks to his work with Francesco Farioli. In an interview with Sport TV, whose full broadcast is scheduled for this Friday, the Portugal international praised the Italian coach and admitted he is enjoying the collaboration a great deal.

“Farioli is a Porto-type coach. He represents the club’s values very well and brings something unique: his personality. He is very demanding, attentive to detail, and rigorous in what he asks for. He really seeks unity within the club, in the work, so that we are one on the pitch. What happened has already happened, we have already enjoyed it. Now we have to work twice as hard; we are the team everyone wants to beat, we have the club’s honour to defend, and we work for our pride, for ourselves, and against everyone who wants to take us from our place,” said André Silva, who also spoke about his feelings on returning to the Dragão after many years playing abroad.

“It was the right decision, it was an indescribable moment. It felt like I was still dreaming, it felt like I was going to go back abroad. But now it has settled more. It was nine years away, full of challenges and learning, to come home with more experience, the same desire, and dreams still to fulfil.”
