Farioli: Samu and Deniz Gül together? Physical and tactical issues | OneFootball

The FC Porto coach, Francesco Farioli, revealed at a press conference early Saturday afternoon the trip to Famalicão for the 11th round of the League, scheduled for 6:00 PM on Sunday:

«A bit of both, Deniz finished the game and when he left he was tired because it was a great game for him. On one hand, it was physical, on the other tactical: I decided to keep Gabri Veiga because, in my opinion, he was the best player, he had a solid performance in different phases of the game and I think we needed him until the end to perhaps have less presence in the area, but more to appear and help in the final pass and in combination possibilities in short spaces. We'll see, we had moments when we played with Samu and Deniz, although Deniz was more as a winger, for a few moments with Moreirense. There are different scenarios according to the type of game.»

International break: Is Luuk de Jong recovering?

«We are looking for that, he is working hard to get ready, the medical department is doing a fantastic job with him. He has already started training on the pitch, with the ball, the reaction is positive, although there is still some pain he has to deal with. But he is handling it well, we hope that after the international break he will be back with the team and then we'll see when he will be fully fit to train with us.»
