Francesco Farioli commented on FC Porto's 3-1 victory over Famalicão in the Portuguese Cup round of 16.
«A fair victory. I think we deserved it and played a good game against a great opponent, who played very well, especially in the first half, with a lot of intensity. It was a great performance, solid, disappointed by the goal conceded from a set-piece, but Famalicão is very strong there. Happy with the result», he mentioned in statements to RTP Notícias, justifying the changes in the lineup and the reason for keeping Diogo Costa in goal.
«We will see game by game, we have three good goalkeepers. Diogo is number one, but Cláudio and João are doing a good job. João is doing very well in the B team», he pointed out, adding that he is not yet thinking about the clash with Benfica in the quarter-finals.
«We will think about the next league game», he stated, addressing the fans.
«I think winning is always good, people bought tickets, came, the atmosphere was very good, even if the stadium wasn't full, even with this weather. We are happy with the support our fans are giving us. We will finish this year and then think about 2026», he concluded.
