Farioli: Gave away two penalties, but we hold our heads high | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto's coach, commented on Sport TV about FC Porto's 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the regular phase of the Europa League:

Match Assessment

“Of course it wasn’t the result we wanted. We played a very important game and managed it very well. We conceded two penalties and nothing else against a team with a lot of quality, both individually and collectively. We created good chances, although at times we lost some precision in the final pass. We showed excellent attitude and spirit. We go home with our heads held high and looking forward to the next match.”

What was decisive?

“It’s hard to say. We did everything we set out to do. We lacked a bit of precision, at times a greater presence in the opposition’s box, but we defended very well. We deserved a bit more.”

Was the first goal decisive?

“They have their own style of play, but we controlled the game. In terms of occupying space, we were better than them. The first penalty came from a ball in midfield, the second was from contact in the box.”

Team’s reaction

“We promise nothing. We are here to work hard. Just as after victories I said we have to forget the last game and focus on the next, it’s the same here. We will be fully focused on Monday’s game, which will be tough, against one of the teams that started the season very well. We have to work and keep moving forward.”
