Thiago Silva hails Farioli: “Everything suits each opponent” | OneFootball

Thiago Silva, central defender of FC Porto, gave an interview to the television channel TNT Sports Brazil, in which he referred to Francesco Farioli, the club's coach.

“It was only during the first video call that I realized the coach was younger than me. The comment naturally came up that he is 36 years old and I am 41. Honestly, I felt happy and sad at the same time, it's a mix of feelings because I had never experienced this before, but I am really very happy with the work we have done and that he has guided. He has incredible energy, knows a lot at 36 years old, and is even younger than me. I am sure he will have a very beautiful story in football as a coach. I've had good examples in my career, I've been led by many winning coaches, and now I have a coach who, at 36 years old, in one week, can give us video, preparation, training, and the mental approach to the game. And it's not random. It's all specific to the opponent we are going to face. The weekly preparation is very good, as well as the pre-game meeting and training, his energy and that of the entire technical team is incredible. FC Porto itself is a family and, when I arrived, I found this family side. We have a super commander, with so little age, but with vast experience to make an incredible career. I have no doubt that this will happen, sooner or later, and it is already happening here at FC Porto. I hope we can succeed together this year so that this is the beginning of great seasons with great titles in his life.”
