Farioli: Porto’s win is for Pinto da Costa on this special day | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli spoke to journalists after FC Porto’s victory over CD Nacional, in the 22nd round of the Primeira Liga. The Italian coach praised the team and dedicated the win to Pinto da Costa and Samu:

“I think the first half had good moments. The opening moments were competitive, against a team we knew and knew was strong at home. This day is special for the club and we want to dedicate this victory to the former president. I think it was a good combination of everything. In fact, the best proof of the players’ competence was Zaidu. He played at the end of October. Now he played 90 minutes at the top level, with focus. We are who we are. Everyone is willing to play and help. The injury to Kiwior, to Samu, which is a long one, and to Martim affects us, especially Samu’s. It was important to rebuild the team, as we had to reconstruct it for some phases. Now we have another week to prepare for the next match.”
