Bernardo Ribeiro defends Sporting and mocks Farioli: some cheek | OneFootball

Bernardo Ribeiro reacted quite critically to Francesco Farioli's statements after Porto’s elimination from the Portuguese Cup at the hands of Sporting, pointing the finger at the Italian coach’s remarks and the way he described the match.

The main point of tension came when the coach said that the Dragons “crushed Sporting in every aspect,” an assessment that the director of the newspaper 'Record' rejects outright, calling that interpretation “the most dishonest analysis I’ve seen among the big three this year.”

leaving the impression that he was aligned with Porto’s internal narrative: “Farioli could also think a little more for himself.”

Bernardo Ribeiro ended with an ironic and forceful remark: “You’ve got to have some nerve to come out and say that Porto crushed Sporting in every aspect. If they crushed them, it was with their studs into the legs of Sporting’s players,” he said on the Now channel.

The green-and-white side return to action next Sunday, April 26, against AVS SAD. The match, part of the 31st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by João Henriques, will be played in Vila das Aves at 8:30 p.m.
