Farioli: “We had chances to put the game to bed earlier” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli expressed his satisfaction at the end of the match in Famalicão, highlighting the importance of securing the three points before the competitive break. "We had control, I believe so. Winning is never easy, but in the first half, we had opportunities to close the game earlier. We had a chance with Samu, another with William. The second half was more complicated, but when you play every 72 hours, it's never easy. Famalicão is a team that has been doing very well, both at home and away. We managed to control Famalicão's good moment very well in the second half when they came into the game with nothing to lose. In this type of game, there is a very fine line, especially because a set piece can cost two points, which we know could be crucial later on," he began by saying in the SportTV flash interview.

"The doctor is positive. He had some pain in the post-Utrecht training. He needs to stay with us and rest well."

Entry of Pablo Rosario instead of Prpic

"Pablo Rosario is a player I have known for a long time and who gives me confidence playing in any position. We are very pleased with the progress Prpic has made. He played 90 minutes not long ago. Opportunities for him will continue to arise."

"The championship is very competitive, every game is very difficult. That's why we always have to be on alert. Playing every 72 hours is not easy and demands a lot from a team that is very young."
