Sporting are a joke, even Farioli quips: “You smell it at Olival” | OneFootball

Farioli took a swipe at the controversy stirred up by Sporting, an issue that has dominated the debate in recent days.

With the season being managed while FC Porto are still competing on three fronts, does that lead you to prioritize any of the competitions? “If we look ahead to the end of May, to the final objective, it is normal to feel some anxiety or pressure. But because of the way we are and the way we work, we do not look that far ahead. My mind is on what is around me. We are in a run of matches where, if we are good enough and able to maintain the level of performances we have been showing, we could still play 14 more games, which is a huge physical and mental effort for everyone. What makes me believe we have a good chance is that it is not difficult to convince people of the path we need to follow. Everyone is motivated to put FC Porto back where it belongs. It is something you can smell from the moment you walk through the gate at Olival. A smell that feels even stronger, that you really notice, when you are at the training center, and it gives me great pleasure and confidence. In a dressing room and a group of players that is becoming stronger, more connected and more united all the time. The recent interviews with Alberto Costa and Martim Fernandes are the manifesto of our mentality.”
