Farioli on Samu’s return: “He’s doing all he can to come back quickly” | OneFootball

On the derby with Benfica: “We’re taking it one game at a time. We want to get the most out of every match, and tomorrow is no exception. We can’t waste energy thinking about the derby, because it’s eight days away and we have enough time to recover until then. Our focus is on tomorrow — the game against Casa Pia will require a lot of energy.”

Samu’s condition: “He’s working very hard and pushing himself to come back as soon as possible. But I don’t put players at risk, so for him to return I’ll need all the green lights. In any case, for me, for the squad and for the fans, it’s very good to have his energy back.”

Use of Santiago Jiménez and André Silva: “André Silva has been impeccable in scoring and making the most of his chances. As for Santi, he’s coming off two years with minor injuries. Now he’s here and very motivated to help the team. We were having coffee before coming here and he seems quite happy. If he goes to the national team, that’s fine; if he stays, there will be three weeks to work here. He has the spirit and the desire to help the team, but every player needs their own time to adapt.”
