Farioli explains no subs after the red card: “We changed a lot” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli analysed FC Porto’s defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Europa League, a result that led to their elimination from the competition. In a press conference, the coach explained why he made no substitutions after Jan Bednarek was sent off just minutes into the match.

“We changed several things. We started playing with two strikers and completely changed our shape. In three minutes we got the message across and the players responded very well. We were aggressive, won the ball back even with one man less, and created the best chances in the second half. We did what we had to do, but it wasn’t enough. Congratulations to Nottingham. On our side, there is pride in an incredible group of players and some sadness about what might have been. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough,” the coach stressed.
