Francesco Farioli previewed the match between FC Porto and Nice in the Europa League. The Dragons' coach spoke about rotation, identity, and the situations he wants to see on the pitch.

«Europa League and rotation? On our side, when we talk about identity and behaviors on the field, we want to do the same against all opponents. Sometimes the game unfolds differently and we have to change, also according to the opponent. We have to be able to adapt to the moment of the game, not to our style. Understanding where the advantages are and how to create them are micro-situations that then create a bigger picture. That is the main characteristic for tomorrow's game. It will be decided by moments, by controlling transitions, by a clear approach. When it’s not possible to manage that, we have to fight with all our strength».
