Farioli confirms key absence, Rio Maior a lesson | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli previewed FC Porto’s trip to Rio Maior, where the Dragons will face Casa Pia this Saturday at 6pm, in a match from the sixth round of the league.

The Porto coach revealed that Victor Froholdt remains unavailable. The midfielder suffered a concussion against Moreirense and also missed the home game against Manchester City.

“Unfortunately, Victor still hasn’t recovered. The trauma was considerable, as we saw in the images, and he still hasn’t recovered,” he confirmed.

Memory of the defeat in Rio Maior last season

“Of course, last season’s game has to be a lesson. It was a particular game, with the pitch in poor condition. We gave away chances and paid a very high price, we couldn’t respond and it was our first defeat in the league. That game is still very clear in our minds. In the meantime, they changed coach and changed their dynamics; they play positive football, like to press and to have the ball. Last season that wasn’t the case. They only have one point, but we also need points. We are well prepared. We need to return home with all three points.”
