Farioli pleased with Porto squad: “We have the most under-21 players” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, at a press conference, spoke about the squad’s ability to face the challenges that await FC Porto until the end of the season and also commented on the youthfulness of the team.

In March, will it be possible to compete on all fronts with the same strength? Will we see more young players? “We have a squad that honestly allows us to compete in different competitions, even with only a few days between matches. We’ve played about 37 games including today’s, and we outperformed our rivals in terms of game volume, opportunities, and distance covered in those 37 games. Even today, we saw the strength on the field. Unfortunately, that alone is not enough to win games, but it makes us feel confident and comfortable to play that number of matches. Today, those who came on really helped us win: William with an assist and a goal, Seko with the penalty, Moffi with the goal, Miranda came in well, and we know what Rodrigo can do. We have a squad to fight for all competitions until the end.”

Pietuszeski, not being afraid of duels, can that lead to losing the ball and compromising the team? Does that worry you? “About Oskar, he likes to go one-on-one. It’s normal, there’s a chance of success and also of losing the ball. We want that aggressiveness from the wingers, to take on opponents and take action. Today he could have made other decisions, but on the other hand, we are the team in Portugal with the most under-21 players, and with so many young players on the field you have energy, good vibes, but sometimes the decision-making isn’t as mature as that of an experienced player. It’s part of the process. We are aware of that. In some positions, we have to do better.”
