Farioli, Portuguese press tricks: “Seen Hjulmand’s foot, now Inácio’s?” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, speaking ahead of the visit to Amadora, where his team will face Estrela in the 31st round match, scheduled for this Sunday.

Refereeing controversies

“In the Cup, there was a game before and after the fifth minute. The footage is clear. There were people very close by and TV images of the incident to assess it, in the two-minute stoppage after William and Gonçalo (Inácio)’s injury. Leaving aside the three possible penalties, that incident could have drastically changed the dynamics of the game.”

Punishment requested by Sporting for Gabri Veiga

“My analysis of that game ends at the fifth minute. But if we are going to analyze it play by play, our list is a little longer. We are never happy to see players get injured, but that is part of football. When the ball is between the players, it is football, but we have already seen, this season, moments when the ball is already a bit far away… I saw Morten Hjulmand’s foot, but I am also curious to see Gonçalo (Inácio)’s.”

Despite the Cup elimination, did you like seeing the fans’ reaction?

“The voice of the Dragão was clearly heard, and it was not the first time that happened. It is important to feel that support also in moments like these eliminations [Europa League and Portuguese Cup] that we have had. Now we are fully focused on our work and on giving the club and the fans what they deserve. It is the only thing that matters to me.”
