Farioli on the season: “Thinking back to 15 July, the mindset…” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli previewed FC Porto's clash with Vitória SC in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. The Italian coach gave an initial assessment of the season, which marks his 20th official match for the blue and white club:

“Very positive. First, considering the level of commitment from the group, the speed with which they changed their mentality. If I go back to July 15, the mentality of the players, the emotions that were around here… I think we did a good job. Thanks to the players, of course, and to the people who are with me every day at Olival. The level of commitment and love for this club is surreal, it’s something you can sense just by being here every day. I think we did our job in turning things around and getting on the right track. But we can’t believe the job is done when we’re coming from two seasons where the gap to Sporting was 29 points—across both seasons—and to Benfica almost 20… We have a huge task ahead of us and we have to keep demanding as we pursue our goal.”
