Francesco Farioli confirms Zaidu to start against Utrecht | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli announced, this Wednesday, the lineup for the match against Utrecht and confirmed Zaidu in the starting eleven.

Regarding Zaidu: “Unfortunately, in the League we can only choose 20 players. Martim [Fernandes] can play as a full-back on both the right and left, I have to make decisions. But tomorrow Zaidu will be in the starting lineup.”

Focus on the next game: “For us, only tomorrow's game matters. We come from a very physically demanding match against Sp. Braga. It was the most challenging of the season, a very demanding game. We have to manage some situations, but we will present the best possible lineup to win. We want to accumulate as many points as possible to try to qualify as quickly as possible.”

On the criticism of the refereeing in FC Porto-SC Braga: “Regarding the ‘noise’, the team has turned the page and will play the Europa League. The club's statement is quite clear. It was not just about the last game, but about what has been happening. I think the club was clear and I agree with all the words there. I have full confidence in the president and the Board to manage this situation in the best way. I hope everything gets resolved for the best of Portuguese football.”
