Francesco Farioli commented on the draw between Viktoria Plzen and FC Porto (1-1), regarding the seventh round of the Europa League. In a press conference, the Italian coach admitted that it wasn't the best performance from the Dragons, but highlighted the value of the point obtained:

«It wasn't our best performance, but we created so much up front and allowed so little to the opponent... we have to accept the result. It's an important point, winning is better than drawing, but drawing is better than losing and we want to go into the last game with all scenarios open».

When questioned about the criticisms of lack of offensive quality made by Diogo Costa in recent matches, Francesco Farioli acknowledged some difficulties but emphasized the conditions of the match:

«We didn't attack with the quality we usually have, but there was little playing time. There are things that shouldn't be allowed, it wasn't an easy game. From this game, we take the point earned and the team's spirit. And if we didn't have the same will, we would have lost the game. But we created a large number of chances to score».
