Farioli: Mora shines at the back, first time in months | OneFootball

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 used a question from Maisfutebol to highlight Rodrigo Mora’s development.

“The goal came from the pressure by Rodrigo Mora, as well as by William Gomes and Samu. He is growing in maturity and in his reading of the game, he had some very good moments in his defensive attitude, which months ago wouldn’t have happened, it wasn’t in his DNA. It’s not the first time he’s done well defensively, his determination is fantastic. We are helping him reach his full potential across the board, so that 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. So, it’s up to me to choose depending on the match.”

Incident with Ian Cathro

“I was kind to him, I tried to calm him down, he was very agitated. In any case, it was a moment of emotion. We shook hands and maybe I misinterpreted his first gesture. But I was calm, I don’t like to create controversy.”
