Luís Miguel Henrique, Rodrigo Mora’s lawyer and a participant in the negotiations with Roma, said that the player is “suffering” and is “only the third option” at FC Porto. Asked about these statements, Francesco Farioli responded.
Did the hugs with Rodrigo Mora mean a farewell? “There are things that are very much your interpretation… at the end of matches, players greet each other and spend quite a bit of time together.”
Statements by Luís Miguel Henrique, Rodrigo Mora’s lawyer: “I saw the comments. People like to create narratives. He never spoke to me, he doesn’t know whether Rodrigo is the first, second, or third option. This is the kind of thing that helps no one. When someone close speaks out and takes certain positions, they are not putting the person they are supposed to care for in the right light. Rodrigo Mora has been a topic since last season, especially in the first half. There is a desire to create a narrative and a story. I am here to choose 11 to start and some to come on. When you have players like Gabri and Rodrigo in the same position, it is a privilege, and you have to make decisions. Rodrigo played almost 2,000 minutes last season and Gabri close to that. What we did for them, we did for others, and everyone accepted it. At this club, and in this group in particular, the collective is the priority, because I truly believe there is nothing greater than FC Porto.”
