Pepê reflects on last season, hails Francesco Farioli: “He's special” | OneFootball

Pepê spoke on a day of celebration at FC Porto. After the 1-0 victory over Santa Clara, a long afternoon and an even longer night were expected, with FC Porto out on the streets celebrating the Primeira Liga title.

“Being able to score a goal in Barcelos after everything that happened in the previous season was significant, it was like a weight off my shoulders. The fans were always by our side, and being able to give something back for all that is a relief,” Pepê said in comments quoted by the press.

Pepê also looked back on last season:

“Everyone embraced me in a completely different way, they really felt what I went through in the previous season, and that was an important boost for me.”

Pepê also highlighted the demanding nature of Francesco Farioli, whom he described as a “special person”:

“If it weren’t for the coach’s demands, we would have ended up relaxing, but the coach never allowed that. He got the best out of every player; he is a special person.”
