Farioli mourns a legend: “Baresi got me into football as a child” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s head coach, spoke to the press ahead of this Saturday’s match against Torreense, the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira final.

“First of all, I want to offer my deepest condolences to his family, the Milan family, and especially to all of Italian football, because we have lost a legend. We know very well what it means to lose someone very important, and Baresi was one of the names that made me start watching football while I was growing up. What he did at Milan, the fact that he spent his entire career at the same club, what he also did for the Italian national team, and what he left behind as a legacy definitely mark the history of football. There are many famous stories about what he did and I think that, because of the number of trophies he won, but also because of what he leaves behind in terms of his ability to be so innovative and so revolutionary, as he was at Milan, I think that legacy will live forever.”
