Froholdt? If he starts scoring every chance, his value will skyrocket | OneFootball

Words from FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, at the press conference at Estádio do Dragão, after the 2-1 victory over Malmö, regarding the sixth round of the Europa League group stage:

Value of the victory:

«The result is important, even though we haven't improved in the standings. But it was important to gain points against teams that are behind us and to continue the path against the teams that are ahead, I think most of them won. I'm disappointed with the goal conceded in the last minute because I think it was a game that, given the chances, could have had a better margin, I think we deserved a three or four-goal difference, which could have put us in a better position. In that aspect, I'm not happy, but we have to work, improve. I didn't like the first ten minutes and the last three. The other 80 in between were very good, with attitude and will.»

«No. Malmö didn't play last weekend, the Swedish league is on hold, the last game was against Nottingham [note: on November 27] and we didn't really know what they did in these last three weeks. We prepared six different scenarios of how they might press, and the first minute was to understand what to do. It's normal. I like them to be demanding, we would like to see the team always shining. I think that, apart from the first ten minutes, where we could have done better, we had great moments with the ball, interior play, the 1-0 came from a combination between Pablo and Mora in a short space. I think we had great moments tonight.»

Froholdt misses three great heading opportunities. Will there be heading practice?

«No. He had three great chances. Compared to the start of the season, considering the fact that he is getting more opportunities and the timing is better, I think it's a step forward. Then, he is a player who, given his volume in the game, if he starts scoring in every chance he gets, his value will skyrocket and he is growing fantastically. There are things to improve, but I'm happy with his performance. I saw good combinations in short spaces, it's something we're trying to work on with him. He is on the right path and may he have better statistics in the next game.»
