After the home victory over Red Star (2-1) in the second round of the Europa League group stage, Francesco Farioli highlighted the commitment of the eight new faces in the starting eleven. In a press conference, the FC Porto coach praised Eustáquio and the fans.

Farioli praises the team's collective performance

“On the field, there were seven players who usually come off the bench. It was the first start for Ángel Alarcón, Prpic, Eustáquio—a great human being and professional, a leader and an example—and for Deniz Gül. We had a fantastic spirit. I don't know if the performance was better than the result, because we did everything to win. And I saw a lot of effort to win the ball back, for example.”

“The first chances were ours, against a tough opponent who deserves respect. Despite some defensive moments and mistakes that led to the 1-1, the team worked very hard.”

Stadium reaction to conceding a goal

“It's the first time I've seen a stadium applaud after conceding a goal; the fans also wanted a reaction and this moment reflects the connection between everyone. This is the direction we need to follow. The more we give to the club, the more the fans will reward us. The atmosphere is fantastic.”
