Farioli silent on refereeing after Deniz Gül penalty incident | OneFootball

The match between FC Porto and Rio Ave was marked by controversial moments. Did the statements of club presidents have any influence? “No. When the referee came to talk to me, it was nothing in particular, nothing controversial. I even think he had a good dynamic, I have nothing to say about today's game decisions.”

Alan Varela will miss the next game. Is it because of the match at Luz? “No. We always think game by game, we are in a situation where, like today, we need extra help at the back. He will miss Friday's game and that's it.”

You tried Deniz Gul, Rodrigo Mora, and Moffi in the attack. Is there already an alternative on the front line to replace Samu? “The decision at the front was a mix of many things. Unfortunately, the goal was disallowed by 8 centimeters, but Deniz Gul played a good game. I wanted to bring more legs and went with Moffi as a possibility we need to explore, tonight for a few minutes. I think he played ten minutes, but with great impact, but I wanted to protect him a bit because tomorrow we will have a friendly match [against Vizela] and I want to use him as much as possible. Now he has to recover to play more minutes. It was a mix of things that led me to decide on this option.”
