After the derby, key Sporting figure targets Farioli: “Debut with…” | OneFootball

A few days after the defeat in the first Clássico of the season, where Sporting failed to overcome Porto, Tito Arantes Fontes, a well-known member of the Lions, left some criticism for Francesco Farioli, coach of the Blues and Whites. Recently, the member of the Green and Whites pointed the finger at the Italian for his statements made in the pre-match press conference.

As usual, every Thursday, the former president of the Stromp Group writes an opinion column in the Sporting newspaper, where he addressed the Clássico, starting by addressing the Dragons' coach: “FC Porto's coach, Farioli by name, made his debut in big national matches with a true ‘fariolada’!”.

Next, Arantes Fontes recalled what the Italian said in his pre-match comments, where he addressed the topic of refereeing: “So, wasn't it the case that the man, in the build-up to the match, started talking about the fact that Sporting usually plays against ‘ten’ men… it was a ridiculous scene!”.

“Someone up there at FC Porto should give him all the pages from the last few decades, at least the last five years, so the man knows what he’s talking about! Because talking based on ‘biased summaries’ leads to what happened… the man made a fool of himself and was brutally contradicted by the vast majority of the Portuguese media!”, added the member of the Alvalade team.

Finally, Arantes left a ‘piece of advice’ for the Italian coach: “Besides, of course, being roasted on social media for his ‘fariolada’! A piece of advice, Farioli, study the history of Portuguese football! And don’t fall for the ‘fairy tales’ that, at FC Porto, they want to sell you…”.
