Villas-Boas sees “personal attacks on Farioli”: “No party, no distractions” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas pointed the finger at the “countless personal and professional attacks” directed at Francesco Farioli, “by different pundits”.

“Some without a press card, being merely commentators; others who do not even respect their own press card and are sometimes journalists, sometimes conveniently commentators, attack with hatred, foul language and insinuations that, in any minimally serious context, would be unacceptable. Farioli works, shows his face, leads, takes risks, takes responsibility. And, precisely because of that, he becomes a target. But let me make this very clear: FC Porto protects its own. And it protects them firmly, because here, ‘in the North’, our own are untouchable,” said the leader of the blue and whites, who closed the editorial in Dragões Magazine with an appeal to “focus on what matters most”.

“The championship is here. The last step is here. So close and yet so far at the same time. And the response has to be the same as always: focus, unity and work. No celebration. No distractions. No noise, but with the need for all your strength. I’m counting on you. Always,” concluded André Villas-Boas.
