Farioli admits 'annoyance' at Pietuszewski yellow, praises young Pole | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli clarified the incident involving Oskar Pietuszewski after FC Porto’s match against Estoril in the previous round of the league. The Dragons’ coach explained that the Polish winger, who left the pitch in the 60th minute visibly upset, apologized to him for his attitude in Amoreira: «He apologized for the yellow card for dissent. He was hit by the ball twice and had an instinctive reaction. I was a little upset that he picked up an unnecessary yellow card.»

The Italian coach played down the young Pole’s behavior and reminded everyone that he is only 17 years old: «He is very young, and expectations are rising. When we played in the United Kingdom, a journalist came from Poland just to interview him — that is the level of pressure and exposure he has.»

Farioli also acknowledged that the Dragons have a «responsibility» to protect the young Polish player from outside noise.
