Farioli on refereeing: “Some decisions were questionable at best” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, was confronted with a phrase he used during the season: “The grey area is turning green.”

The Dragons’ coach had words of appreciation for rivals Benfica and Sporting and also criticised some “questionable” decisions.

“What we did throughout the whole season and the effort we had to make was incredible. Our two rivals are two giants who came from the UEFA Champions League. Sporting qualified for the quarter-finals and Benfica gave Real Madrid a hard time. Last season, the gap was big. What they did this season was repeat what they had done before. This time, we got 88 points, showing a fantastic ability to pick up points with high-level performances. At times, overcoming difficulties, in a way because of Luuk’s and Samu’s injuries. I think that with some decisions that were, at the very least, questionable. It happened several times during the season. What the team did was incredible,” he said in an interview with RTP.
