Farioli on Borja Sainz benching and Viseu: “No clues for Bruno” | OneFootball

About the match: “It was a difficult game. We knew Arouca were coming in with positive momentum. They’re doing a very good job, but our performance was very positive.”

Borja Sainz scored for the second match in a row. Has he handled being a substitute well, establishing himself as a possible weapon off the bench? “I think the lesson from last season was that there are no guaranteed starters. There are players who come on from the bench and make an impact. Both Borja and the others had a very positive impact. Everyone did their part, everyone had a role.”

Do you consider this the match in which FC Porto came closest to the identity it showed last season? “I think it was, without a doubt, a positive game, especially because of the energy we put onto the pitch. We had the right spirit and fire, and we have to keep moving forward. But there are definitely things we want to improve.”

What aspects still need to be corrected in the team? “I don’t want to give our opponents too much of an advantage. We’re going to play against a good friend of mine. I worked with Bruno [Pinheiro] for many years, and I’m not going to give away any clues. It’s going to be a tough game against a very well-organized team (Académico de Viseu). We’ll work in silence and in private.”
