Farioli keeps squad focused amid Fábio Veríssimo–Porto row

Francesco Farioli presented the preview for the match between Utrecht and FC Porto. The Italian coach addressed the controversy surrounding Fábio Veríssimo and expressed support for the Dragons.

«Fábio Veríssimo case? Regarding the noise, the team is on another page, in another book, which is the Europa League. We put it aside. The club's statement was clear about what is happening. I agree with every word. I have complete confidence in the president and the management to handle this situation. Everything will be resolved for the good of Portuguese football».
