Francesco Farioli appeared calm after FC Porto's hard-fought victory over Estoril (1-0) in the 12th round of the league. In the press conference this Sunday night, the Dragons' coach referred to a question from Maisfutebol to praise Rodrigo Mora's development.

«The goal came from Rodrigo Mora's pressure, as well as from William Gomes and Samu. He is growing in maturity and game reading, he had very good moments in defensive attitude, which months ago wouldn't have happened, it wasn't in his DNA. It wasn't the first time he did well in defense, his determination is fantastic. We are helping him reach his full potential across the board, so he becomes a complete player. I'm happy with his progress.»

«We have good players for various positions. Gabri Veiga played well against Nice, but Rodrigo Mora also deserves opportunities. Therefore, it's up to me to choose according to the game.»

«I was kind to him, I tried to calm him down, he was very agitated. Anyway, it was a moment of emotions. We shook hands and I might have misinterpreted his first touch. But I was calm, I don't like to create controversies.»
