Farioli on subs: "In the derby, I just wanted eleven men" | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli was "happy" with FC Porto's performance against Casa Pia but emphasized that the team needs to improve in several areas. The Italian coach also explained that the substitutions of players with yellow cards were not intended to rest players for the classic with Sporting.

Another convincing performance from FC Porto: "Happy. The approach was fantastic, good intensity, with the right patience to create opportunities. In the second half, we lost our structure, with the ball we didn't create as much as we should have. It was an important result."

You substituted the players with yellow cards in the second half. Were you thinking about the game with Sporting? "I was thinking about finishing the game with 11 players. Three important players with yellow cards when it was 3-0. I have to act to protect the players because some fouls could cause something more."

Francisco Moura: "He played 45 minutes during the week, against the B team, played well, he is an important player we need to recover. We need to have all players recovered."

Pêpe: "It was unfortunate, he got hit in the eye with the ball, he needs to be evaluated. William's performance was fantastic, the energy and speed. Available for the game with Sporting? We have to see, it's a recent injury."

Classic after three games where the big teams won easily: "I have a different view, the games weren't that easy, we made them look easy, the players approached the games with an incredible mindset. We need to continue the work. There are still many things we need to improve. We have 6 days to prepare for the game."
