Farioli says the semi-final should have been against Santa Clara or AVS | OneFootball

After criticizing Cláudio Pereira's performance in the quick interview with Sport TV, Francesco Farioli spoke to RTP Notícias and was even more incisive in listing what he considers irregular in tonight's classic at Alvalade against Sporting.

“Tonight there are many clear images. The Sporting player deliberately hits Bednarek, with the ball far from the area of play, just to cause him an injury and hurt him. It's a red card plus a few games suspension. It's unbelievable and it's very funny that they are doing this because today we should be playing against Santa Clara or AVS SAD… At the end of the first half, right in front of the camera, there are words from Sporting players directed at the referees with no room for interpretation. It's inconceivable how they allow a great player like Hjulmand to approach the referees in that manner in every play… Honestly, it's embarrassing just to watch. But it is what it is. Now it's time to turn the page and prepare for the game with Benfica.”
