Sporting hit back at Farioli’s tantrum, show Porto boss was lying | OneFootball

Sporting found Francesco Farioli's statements strange regarding the postponement of the match against Tondela, related to the 26th round. The topic came up during the preview of the match between Porto and Moreirense, when the Dragons' coach considered that the decision benefited the Lions.

"It's a bit peculiar because Sporting also has a tight schedule like us, there's little room to reschedule, but that's another reflection. Last week there was no room for such a decision. Braga has no other competition, for Sporting and us there's little room to play again, only the last week is free, it's a somewhat peculiar treatment," pointed out the Italian coach.

In response to the statements, the Sporting officials, speaking to the newspaper 'Record', recall that the issue of postponements was discussed at the meeting of the League's Permanent Calendar Committee. In that meeting, Porto was represented by its officials, so in Alvalade, they do not understand the position now taken by the coach.

Furthermore, the regulations allow clubs involved in European competitions, like Sporting and Braga, to request the postponement of league matches. Thus, the green and whites believe that Farioli's comments may create noise at an important stage of the season.
