Farioli warns: Viktoria Plzen among Europe’s unbeaten sides | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, previews the match against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League group stage and warned about the discomfort caused by the cold, in addition to the quality of the opponent.

«It's cold, but that's no excuse. We are prepared for the game. Viktoria Plzen had a training camp in Spain, played preparation matches, and are restarting the season. Tomorrow's game will be their first this year. They are fresh,» he said to Porto Canal microphones, warning about the dangers of the Czech team.

«They are one of the few teams without defeats. In Europe, they are different compared to the championship. They don't score many goals, but they concede few. They are doing well. They are in the top-8 and will play all their cards to try to qualify directly. We have to be attentive and focused on the small details,» he stated.

«Last season, with 14 points you were certainly qualified, this season 16 points might not be enough to stay in the top-8. It's step by step. Staying in the top-8 is important, especially because it improves our schedule,» he concluded.
