Farioli says William Gomes is “99 per cent” ready for Rio Ave | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, at the press conference previewing the match against Rio Ave in Vila do Conde, for the 6th round of the League, scheduled for 8:15 pm this Friday:

About Rio Ave and this Friday’s match:

“Rio Ave is a team that has drawn three times, a complicated team to face, it’s a club that changed ownership, joined the Marinakis group, a very ambitious group. A club that surely must represent the spirit of its owner, who always wants to improve his teams.”

“This season, they changed coach, hired a Greek coach [Sotiris Sylaidopoulo] who did a fantastic job last season by winning the Youth League. A team that usually defends with a back three, with some variations, it’s a team that has the tools to cause us problems.”

“We have been analyzing them, we tried to prepare for the match in the best possible way. We did an in-depth analysis of what the coach did last year at Olympiakos to have a clearer picture of all possible scenarios during the game. We did our work, obviously that’s just one part, but we have to be ready, we have to be competitive, and we have to be focused on tomorrow’s match.”

Status of William Gomes and Martim Fernandes: are they available for the match?

“Both trained today, now whether they will play or not, William 99 percent yes, but as for Martim, we have to sit down again with the medical department to talk about the situation.”
