The coach Francesco Farioli commented on the draw (1-1) between FC Porto and Sporting, regarding the 21st round of the Primeira Liga. At the end of the match, the Italian coach stated:
«I think it was a great game. We played without fear against the two-time champion. We were intense, the dynamics in the first half were good, as well as in the second. I'm happy, I think we put a lot into the game. The goal came in the last action of the game. It was the sixth time. I think the game was positive, the atmosphere was great, the spirit was top-notch. This says a lot about what the boys are doing».
«The goal is a mistake. At this level, mistakes are costly. We can't have regrets. The image of this game is our goal. The energy, the shot, the pursuit in the shots. It's what we want to do and bring to the game», continued Francesco Farioli.
«The only part of the game where we suffered was in the last minutes. But we led for 83 minutes. A team that wanted to win the game. That team was FC Porto. I don't like to make calculations. I take pride in titles. Thiago might even be right. But I look at the team, I saw bravery. It wasn't enough against a great team. The race continues», Farioli also said.
