Farioli on young Tiago Silva's debut: “Positive impact off bench” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, spoke in the press room of the Estádio do Desportivo das Aves after the 3-1 defeat to AVS. The coach also praised Prpic, despite the sending-off.

Was Tiago Silva a reward, or did you believe he could add something?

“It’s something I really wanted to do. He has been with us for a long time, raising the level in every session. He has been on my radar since I arrived, he has been working hard, he has passing ability and he is aggressive. His introduction gave us some interesting things, he plays with personality and had a positive impact.”

“A word for Prpic: his last game had been in December and, in my opinion, he had a good game. He was involved in both goals, the one we scored and the one that was ruled out by centimetres. Unfortunately he can’t play in the last game, we’re happy with the way he played, obviously we’re not satisfied with the way he was shown the red card.”

Team for the final round. Could someone else make their debut?

“We have a week to think about that. We’re going to start the week, see how it goes, and finish in the best possible way in front of our fans. We want to reach the celebration with the right feelings, it’s important to get to 88 points.”
