Farioli, reserve Borja Sainz and Viseu visit: “No clues for Bruno” | OneFootball

About the match: “It was a difficult game. We knew Arouca were coming in with positive momentum. They’re doing a very good job, but our performance was very positive.”

Borja Sainz scored for the second match in a row. Has he handled being a substitute well, establishing himself as a possible weapon off the bench? “I think the lesson from last season was that there are no guaranteed starters. There are players who come in off the bench and make an impact. Both Borja and the others had a very positive impact. Everyone did their part, everyone had a role.”

Do you consider this to be the match in which FC Porto came closest to the identity shown last season? “I think it was, without a doubt, a positive game, especially because of the energy we put on the pitch. We had the right spirit and fire, and we have to keep moving forward. But there are definitely things we want to improve.”

What aspects still need to be corrected in the team? “I don’t want to give our opponents too much of an advantage. We’re going to play against a good friend of mine. I worked with Bruno [Pinheiro] for many years and I’m not going to give anything away. It’s going to be a tough game against a very well-organized team (Académico de Viseu). We’ll work quietly and in private.”
