Farioli hails Benfica and Sporting: “The derby showed we face giants” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli is already preparing for the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-final against Sporting. In the build-up to this decisive match, the FC Porto coach said he believes in a comeback, while also praising the two main rivals in Portuguese football.

Possible domestic double if they win the Portuguese Cup: «In reality, we approach every game with the same desire. Every weekend we have to pick up points. What Sunday’s derby proved is that we are competing with two giants, very strong teams that will be fighting for the league title. Tomorrow we’re going to have a huge game. We’re taking it step by step — tomorrow it could be 90 minutes, 120, or penalties. It has to be played well, both physically and mentally.»
