FC Porto: Francesco Farioli impressed by André Silva in pre-season

Francesco Farioli has already begun FC Porto’s pre-season preparations, and there are players drawing particular attention. According to the newspaper A Bola, the Italian coach was impressed by the physical condition of André Silva, one of the Dragons’ new signings.

The striker has been working at full intensity after seeing his progress hampered by several injuries in recent seasons, and the coaching staff was not expecting him to arrive so well prepared. The Portugal international also did individual work before the start of pre-season.
