Farioli: With the right spirit, we’ll handle Arouca and the schedule

Francesco Farioli commented on FC Porto's victory in Salzburg (1-0), at the opening of the Europa League group stage. In a press conference, the Italian coach highlighted the spirit of his players and also mentioned the clash with Arouca.

«Playing on Monday is not ideal, but it was the solution found. We have already proven the quality and depth of the squad. I believe that, with the indicated spirit, we will overcome the demands of the schedule. I like the way Arouca plays, I'm even surprised by the style and ideas they propose. Therefore, we will have to be very well prepared for this battle.»
