The FC Porto coach commented on a topic that has been prominent in Porto's news in recent weeks.
By taking out Zaidu, bringing in Pablo Rosario, and moving Martim Fernandes to the other wing.Was it an option to protect Francisco Moura, or do you fear that such a decision might undermine his confidence? “For Pablo, he plays in many positions, and it's hard to say that this isn't his position. I also thought it was important to give Pablo some minutes; he suffered an injury against Casa Pia, and it was important to have continuity to prepare for Stuttgart. Francisco is working hard, the last period hasn't been easy, we can't deny that, but he is fully committed, willing, and ready to play. It was just my decision to bet on a different player. I also didn't put Fofana in; I had to make different decisions for the team.”
