Farioli wary of Sintrense: “They’ve already knocked out Vizela and Rio Ave” | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Sintrense, regarding the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, Francesco Farioli, FC Porto's coach, commented on the team from the Campeonato de Portugal:

What are your expectations regarding Sintrense?

“We are going to face an opponent and start a new chapter. It’s a different season and we have to respect them, because they deserve it. They have already eliminated Vizela and Rio Ave; in both matches they were losing and managed to turn things around. They have an interesting rotation with the ball and we have to be ready to compete.”

Return to the Dragão

“Of course, the fact that we are playing at home, after a period where we played a lot away, is going to be important. It’s also a good moment for our fans to be with us and continue to support us.”

Response to the compliments from Sintrense’s coach

“There’s not much to say. I didn’t see it, but I appreciate the words. There aren’t many secrets. My career started in the lowest league possible in football. It was a journey that brought me here and gave me many experiences. The only secret, which isn’t really a secret, is to work hard and be lucky enough to meet people who, at a certain point, will trust you and give you the opportunities you deserve.”
