Farioli replies to Villas-Boas: We’re working to restore Porto’s glory | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli presented the preview for the match between FC Porto and Sporting, related to the 21st round of the Primeira Liga. In a press conference, the Italian coach commented on the statements of president André Villas-Boas and provided an assessment:

«The president's words, the context is a bit more articulated than that. In the president's words, it was a statement of the reality of the two clubs. Sporting comes from a double championship, experience, and a Champions League budget. We are a club that is rebuilding a certain process, working hard to bring FC Porto to its rightful place. It is the reality. We are in a good position to compete for the League, qualified in the top-8 of the Europa League, and still in the race for the Cup. We are where we wanted and deserved to be. All the points earned were achieved with a lot of effort and work from everyone. We have all the tools to compete in the three competitions. We are all aligned».

The match between FC Porto and Sporting will take place this Monday at 20:45, at Estádio do Dragão. You can read more statements from Francesco Farioli at the press conference.
