The FC Porto coach, Francesco Farioli, spoke in the press room of the Estádio do Dragão after the 1-0 victory over Nacional, in the fifth round of the League:

Performance of the midfielders and forwards in ball recovery:

"Perhaps it wasn't our best game in terms of pressing and recovering the ball in high areas, but when we bring so many new players at the same time, sometimes the timing may not be perfect and, when it's not perfect, it can be difficult to recover the ball. But I've already mentioned that we have to congratulate Nacional, the way they played and the quality they brought to the game and for us it's a warning, we are going to play many difficult games in the League and in the Europa League and we cannot lower our level."
