Farioli: “Mourinho’s comments on Porto? We’re only focused on Red Star” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli chose not to respond to José Mourinho’s statements – who, after the defeat to Chelsea, considered the Londoners “better than FC Porto” – and preferred to keep his focus on preparing for the match against Red Star, in the second round of the Europa League.

Immediate reaction

“If you want to ask another question about Red Star, it’s better if we talk about them. Red Star is the only thing that matters to us.”

Squad management

“Managing the players is always very important. When we play six games in three days and played 45 minutes with ten men on Monday. Of course, the effort required is different from usual, but we’ve been working hard for several weeks to be prepared for these things. I truly believe it’s important to have fresh legs and a fresh mind as well. It’s a decisive factor, but the focus is on tomorrow’s game, there’s a lot of desire to have a great European night. The motivation comes naturally.”

“If you look at the minutes played by the substitutes, you’ll see they’ve already played quite a lot. The best example is William Gomes. In recent matches, the biggest contributions have come from players who came off the bench. Everyone must contribute.”
