Farioli plays victim, says Sporting got lucky in one area | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli states that not postponing Porto's match of the 26th round against Moreirense allows the use of the squad in its entirety. The coach, however, was surprised by the postponement of Sporting, considering that the lions were favored by not playing this weekend.

"I've already talked about it, it is what it is. For Braga, not having another competition, it's a logical request. For us and for Sporting, it's a different case. If you look at the calendar, the only week that will be free is the last of the season. It's a very particular treatment."

The Italian coach was also questioned about the "unsatisfactory" rating given to the referee in the game against Arouca, expressing surprise: "I'm surprised, there are several images that are clear. The penalty was a penalty. I stand by my assessment. It won't influence tomorrow's refereeing."

Meanwhile, arbitration expert Pedro Henriques is adamant about the decision to award a penalty in the match that led to a goal by the dragons near the end of the game and believes there was no reason for a foul (See HERE).
