Farioli: "Villas-Boas' record? Life isn't defined by records"

Following the victory against Red Star (2-1) in the second round of the Europa League group stage, Francesco Farioli downplayed the fact that he is two wins away from matching the record set by André Villas-Boas in 2010/11 – that is, 11 consecutive wins at the start of the season. To achieve this, the FC Porto coach must win against Benfica at home on Sunday and away against Celoricense on October 19.

«We always try to win, life is not marked by records, but by the work that brings you closer to results, accompanied by a group like this.»
