Farioli: Many comments were emotional, not about football | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli spoke at a press conference previewing the Moreirense–FC Porto match, scheduled for Monday at 8:15 PM, corresponding to the ninth round of the Primeira Liga.

What do you think of Moreirense and their greatest strengths? “They are the team with the best home record, having won all their games. It is definitely a game that will demand a lot from us. They are a very well-organized and coached team, with players ready to implement the coach's ideas. We have to be prepared to compete and to restart our path in the championship.”

How important was the connection with the fans, and could this be a problem if FC Porto loses in the league? “We win, draw, and lose in football. Of course, we always try to do everything to win, which is what the club demands. But I think the fans were with us and appreciated our performance there. I saw many comments after the game, and many of them were emotional from your side and not so much within the reality of the game. I saw a team that tried to play with a lot of courage and played against a very low team. We pressed, defended well, and attacked quite well, and I have already mentioned how good Nottingham is. I am very critical, as you know. After the 3-0 at Rio Ave, I went to the press conference receiving many compliments, and I was furious inside because I thought we didn't play well. In the last game, we were really good in a challenge decided by two penalties.”
