Farioli: We’ve done well, but perfection’s still far off | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli spoke this Saturday about the preview of the match between FC Porto and Famalicão, related to the 11th round of the Primeira Liga.

Preparation time between games: “We are talking about a few hours of preparation, but we have had a tight schedule. But it is possible with the work of everyone, the professionalism of the players. Tomorrow morning we will have a session at the stadium. It is normal for us to try to be well prepared for a game that will be difficult and demanding. You know how well Famalicão has been playing since Hugo [Oliveira] arrived. They are a very good team at home. It will be a very demanding game and we have to be prepared and be our best version.”

Famalicão: “The opponent is in a very good moment. We, of course, have a tight schedule. Many games and that has already been mentioned. We played eighty percent of the last games away from home and we are trying to manage that. Of course, our desire is to win all the games. So far, we are doing well. I think against Sp. Braga we tried to have control of the game, especially in the 2nd half, and against Utrecht we played a very good game, with 75% possession. 50 touches in the opponent's area... I am repeating myself, but I think we are on the right path and with some things to improve. But many good things have already been done. Still, we are far from perfection and we need time to perfect some things.”

Not playing with two forwards: “Deniz was quite tired when he came off, the game was very demanding. It was a physical and tactical reason. Gabri, in my opinion, was the best player on the field at various stages of the game. And I felt we needed him until the end to appear more in the penalty area, to have the final pass, to play in short spaces. Deniz was even used as a winger against Moreirense, for example. There can be many scenarios depending on the game.”
