Farioli warns players: “Without the same hunger, look elsewhere” | OneFootball

It was nevertheless clear that “an improvement in structural terms” will be needed. “Some players we would love to keep may come under pressure from different clubs. It will be important to try to convince them to stay, and what happened on the final day helps us with that, because it is not common to see certain things and I think everyone would love to relive this feeling again and again,” the coach explained, adding that “redefining some positions” would already be “a significant step.” “We are going to build on something, with a full pre-season to develop things. I believe the Champions League will require some adjustments from us,” he summed up.

In the same ambitious vein, Farioli’s final message to the players, at a dinner held on Monday night, could not have been more direct. “We have to have the internal drive to do better. I saw some interviews with a lot of emotion in them. Sometimes people say a little too much and, at FC Porto, that is not acceptable. I told them to enjoy their holidays and that, on July 1, they know what awaits them and what we will expect from them. I told them that if they do not come back with the same hunger, they had better look for an alternative. The demands will be greater for the players and for me as well. Either we are all on the same page or we will have a problem,” stressed the coach of the national champions.
