Bruno Alves wants Farioli to give more minutes to Rodrigo Mora | OneFootball

Bruno Alves, an unmistakable figure in FC Porto’s history, believes that Francesco Farioli should give Rodrigo Mora more minutes this season.

The young Dragons midfielder, who has been establishing himself in recent seasons, is usually brought on in the final minutes of matches. Last season, he came on during 23 games and started on 21 occasions.

The former defender, who admits he still feels connected to FC Porto, believes Mora should feature more often under the Italian coach. “I’d really like Rodrigo Mora to have a good season, get more opportunities, be able to perform better and have more playing time,” he said during Liga Portugal Legends, an event currently taking place in Nazaré, where he once again wore the Porto shirt.

Now technical director at Rio Ave, the former Portugal international foresees a bright future for the 19-year-old midfielder. “I believe that, with more time [on the pitch], he will produce more. I really like his style of play and he can bring a lot to the team,” he argued.

As for the changes in the squad, Bruno Alves admits he is expectant: “I prefer to see the players adapting, connecting with the club and understanding what the coach wants.”
