Farioli praises Fofana: “Switched on, whether starting or off bench”

Francesco Farioli spoke to journalists after FC Porto’s 2-1 win over Braga, following a comeback in a Primeira Liga match. At the end of the game, the Italian coach praised Seko Fofana, a winter signing loaned by Rennes since the January transfer window:

“We’re taking it step by step. He is on loan, but he is very connected and focused, whether he comes on or starts the match. Today he proved that again. The four players who arrived in January have helped us raise the level and make up for serious injuries. We have managed to overcome those difficulties, and that is the result of everyone’s work. We have also kept the group’s human quality at the highest level.”
