Francesco Farioli: “We want to keep heading in the right direction” | OneFootball

After the break due to international commitments, FC Porto returned to competition by defeating CD Nacional at home (1-0), against “an opponent who played a good game” and who “deserves congratulations for their approach.”

Aware that “it’s not possible to win every game the way we want,” Francesco Farioli admitted that this “result was important” and stated that he hopes “to continue in the right direction” at a stage when “every game is crucial and it’s very important not to drop points.”

Another test passed“We can’t win every game the way we want. Today we faced an opponent who played a good game. I think we created most of the chances that could have decided the match, but I recognize that they played excellently. I want to congratulate them for their approach. It was an important result for us, it’s our fourth clean sheet in five games and the only goal we’ve conceded so far was away to the champions. We’ll keep going.”

The Choupana emblem“They’re a team that can adapt and change their dynamics during the game. They started with a lower block, then became more aggressive one-on-one when necessary. We were prepared for four or five different scenarios. We weren’t as precise in passing, control, and decision-making as I would have liked, but even so, we had several chances to put the game to bed.”

International break“We had several players returning from South America two days ago, with some jet lag, but things are as they are. We gave our best, but now we have a week to prepare for the next game and we want to use it in the best way possible.”

Jakub Kiwior“He’s an important player and the Club made a significant effort to sign him. He’s a player who will bring quality and international experience. We’re missing some players and had to speed up some processes. He played 90 minutes and showed good control of the game.”

Nehuén Pérez“It looks like a serious injury.”
