Pepê scores first goal since August, Farioli: We all love him | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli was present at the press conference after FC Porto defeated Famalicão 4-1 and secured qualification for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup. The Dragons’ coach spoke about Pepê’s return to scoring and also made a revelation regarding the previous match:

“About Pepê, the value of the goal is almost the same as the victory. As you know, he had gone a long time without scoring and it was starting to affect him, but he always maintained a positive attitude. In the last league match, if we had gotten a penalty, I told him to take it, but he ended up giving the ball to another teammate. That says a lot about him: he always puts the team first. He is a player of great quality and the way we all celebrated says a lot about how much we like him.”

Pepê had not scored since August 18, when FC Porto beat Gil Vicente 2-0 in the second round of the Primeira Liga.
