William Gomes on Farioli’s arrival: “He felt pain like us” | OneFootball

William Gomes gave an interview to FC Porto's official media, where he commented on the renewed dynamics of the squad with the arrival of Francesco Farioli as the head coach, with the first positive signs already emerging in the pre-season.

“In the first contact the coach had with us, there is even a video of him talking about the 'pains' he experienced last season [at Ajax], very similar to ours. He ended up losing the title, and we didn't have a good season. It was clear that we were all together, in sync, and that we could have a great season,” he stated.

“Right in the pre-season, you could sense the intensity in each training session, everyone with a clear mind, calm and confident that we could have a great season. It was there, right in the conversation on the first day, that the connections clicked,” he recalled.

The combination of youth and experience stood out. “Our team is very young, and the experienced players are always there to talk to us, to help us improve more and more. Somehow, I think we also help them. I think the experience and youth matched perfectly,” he said.
