Diogo Costa on Braga win: “Subs made the difference for Porto” | OneFootball

Diogo Costa highlighted the importance of William Gomes and Fofana, the players who came off the bench and scored the goals in FC Porto's 1-2 victory in Braga, a decisive step in the title race. Nevertheless, the goalkeeper prefers to remain cautious.

“It's always very difficult to play here historically. In recent years, we've won one game out of eight here at Sp. Braga's stadium. We knew that Sp. Braga plays good football and has a great attitude, but the secret today was those who came in. We are all united, and that is our strength,” the Portuguese international told Sport TV.

Recharge with substitutions?

“The coach has confidence in everyone, we all work well and show that to each other. Those who came in made the difference, and we have to congratulate them.”

Farioli's exuberant celebration, is it about the title on the horizon?

“I'm sure the coach wasn't thinking about that. He is very demanding, always wants much more. I think that's the secret, it's what he brings and what he gave us this year. Not just the coach, but also credit to the players.”

Can FC Porto slip up?

“I believe this victory is very important, the next game is to win. We look at it game by game, many things can happen that might make us regret, so we won't think about that, we want the title.”

Are you fit to play for the National Team?

“It was a tough week, I played to the limit, but I'm always willing to suffer for the team and for FC Porto, but we have to assess. Compliments from Farioli? I try to block them out, I don't want them to go to my head, I'm addicted to success and that's what I'm focused on.”
