Farioli: “João Costa? We’ll try to give everyone what they deserve” | OneFootball

After the match with Estoril, Diogo Costa admitted he was satisfied with the result, but not with the performance, and was questioned about the identified shortcomings: “It’s never easy to win every game. Never. I think that, if we look back at the previous two seasons and compare the results with those of our opponents, the reality is that we have a big points difference in a short period of time. We played a tough game against a quality opponent who caused us a lot of problems. And playing every three days is an extra challenge we have to deal with. That game opened up some opportunities for them [Estoril] and others for us. But it was another great night at the Dragão, with suffering, but the important thing is to move forward and improve our performance.”

Diogo Costa is an undisputed starter in the League and Europa League. Cláudio Ramos in the Portuguese Cup. Who will play tomorrow in the League Cup? “We have three experienced goalkeepers, players who work hard and are an example for the younger ones. Regarding João [Costa], Cláudio [Ramos], and Diogo [Costa], we’ll try to give everyone what they deserve, knowing there’s only one spot in goal. Tomorrow I’ll make my decision.”

How did you experience the Dragões de Ouro? “They explained to me what it was and I saw some moments from the previous edition, but taking part was something unique. I’m understanding more Portuguese and I understood 90% of the speeches that were made. A memorable moment for me was at the museum, when we arrived, which helped me understand the context we were in, the emotions, and the unity of the club with all sports. The love for this club is something very special. All these moments are special, but some were unique.”
