Bernardo Ribeiro backs Sporting and mocks Farioli: some cheek | OneFootball

Bernardo Ribeiro reacted very critically to Francesco Farioli’s statements after Porto’s elimination from the Portuguese Cup against Sporting, pointing the finger at the Italian coach’s remarks and the way he described the clash.

The main point of tension came when the coach said that the Dragons “crushed Sporting in every aspect,” a view that the director of the newspaper 'Record' completely rejects, describing that interpretation as “the most dishonest analysis I’ve seen from the big three this year.”

leaving the suggestion that he was in line with Porto’s internal narrative: “Farioli could also think a little more for himself.”

Bernardo Ribeiro ended with an ironic and forceful remark: “You’ve got some nerve to come out and say that Porto crushed Sporting in every aspect. If they crushed them, it was with their studs on the legs of Sporting’s players,” he said on the Now channel.

The green-and-white side return to action next Sunday, April 26, against AVS SAD. The match, part of the 31st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by João Henriques, will be played in Vila das Aves at 8:30 pm.
