Farioli on Porto’s first league loss: “Nothing went right” | OneFootball

First impression after the first defeat: FC Porto started well, then conceded a goal. How do you explain this result? What was missing? “Your analysis is correct, it’s a long season and there are games where everything goes wrong. We started very well, with a positive approach, creating good moments. They scored first and the second was an own goal. In twenty games we conceded six goals, two defeats and two own goals. That says a lot about the work we’ve done so far. Today it wasn’t enough to come away with points.”

Did you ask the players for more pragmatism, as it seemed they wanted to walk the ball into the net… “We tried to play our game, as we always do. We lacked a bit of aggressiveness at certain moments. We tried and tried, but it wasn’t enough for [the ball] to go in. Casa Pia did well, both balls were difficult. But there are no excuses. It was a game where everything went wrong. The fans need to help us turn the page and we will work towards that.”
