Farioli on leaving out Francisco Moura: "The last spell was tough" | OneFootball

The FC Porto coach commented on a topic that has been a highlight for Porto in recent weeks.

By taking out Zaidu, bringing in Pablo Rosario, and moving Martim Fernandes to the other wing.Was it an option to protect Francisco Moura, or do you fear that such a decision might lower his confidence? “For Pablo, he plays in many positions and it's hard to say that this is not his position. I also thought it was important to give Pablo minutes; he suffered an injury against Casa Pia and it was important to have continuity to prepare for Stuttgart. Francisco is working, the last period wasn't easy, we can't deny that, but he is fully committed and willing and ready to play. It was just my decision to bet on a different player. I also didn't put in Fofana, I had to make different decisions for the team.”
