Francesco Farioli previewed the match between FC Porto and Santa Clara, corresponding to the 34th round of the Primeira Liga. With FC Porto already crowned champions, the Italian coach was invited to comment on the competition and offered the following reflection:
“I still haven’t carried out a full analysis of the league. I appreciate the level of the competition and of our opponents. Even with 85 points, we are hoping for three more tomorrow. What I feel is that we prepared every match with care, hard work and dedication. We faced good teams and good players, some of whom we are considering for the team in the future. There were also coaches who posed challenges. Personally, it was my fifth season at senior level and the standard was high.”
“As for the things to improve, we have spoken about that. With the recent events, we all have ambition and the feeling that the effort on the pitch will naturally be rewarded in results or achievements. The feeling is that we did it with a good spirit and attitude, even in the most difficult situations. Deep down, we are left with the feeling that we have to double our effort to achieve what we want. Gratitude to the players and to everyone working at Olival helps,” added Francesco Farioli.
FC Porto and Santa Clara play this Saturday, May 16, from 3:30 pm. At the end of the match, the Dragons will receive the trophy, followed by the celebrations at Aliados. You can read Francesco Farioli’s full preview here.
