Francesco Farioli: “Those behind us are doing better than last season” | OneFootball

Does the approach to the game change because no points can be wasted? “Since the start of the season, we haven’t been allowed to drop points. The three teams ahead of us are better than they were last season, and the teams behind us have also improved compared to last year. And we’re doing even better. When the top three are on top, it’s clear that you need to win every game. Nothing needs to change; from the beginning, we’ve been playing under the pressure of having to win.”

Rodrigo Mora is in peak physical condition at this decisive stage; can having a more cerebral player be decisive? “Our two attacking midfielders have been influential. Rodrigo is competing the way he is and was called up to the national team not only because of his attacking contributions, but also because of the way he competes; he is more complete and mature. Credit to the work he has been doing. Gabri [Veiga] is the other creative mind — just look at the game against Nottingham, in which he created three or four assists. They are two players who, when they are switched on, can produce a certain consistency.”
