Farioli pays emotional tribute to Jorge Costa: “Your legacy lives on” | OneFootball

In Farioli's interview with Sport TV, Jorge Costa emerged as a central figure.

“Although, unfortunately, I didn't have much time with him, what Jorge was, is, and will be for FC Porto is very clear. You can feel his presence everywhere. His legacy will always be here, not just in the number 2 jersey, but in his way of being and behaving. The tribute that Portuguese and international football gave him says everything about an eternal captain. On December 31st, I was at home watching the images of my presentation and Jorge was in almost every image, trying to help me and convey what FC Porto is. He talked to me about the work mentality, the connection with the city, that sweating for the jersey is non-negotiable. He was with us every day in training, watching the players suffer, almost vomiting on the pitch. That's why he continues with us. After the game with Atlético de Madrid, he said something to Tiago Madureira and Henrique Monteiro, who told me on the day everything happened: He said, ‘we have a team again’. This is our slogan, our commitment and responsibility for Jorge's memory. There will always be a flag at the Dragão to keep him with us. For his family and the Porto family. He will always be with us. The fight for the title is also for him,” assured the FC Porto coach.
