Farioli hails Diogo Costa: One of the world’s best keepers | OneFootball

FC Porto began the second half of the season in the same way they dominated much of the first: with a victory. Francesco Farioli commented on the blue and whites’ triumph in Guimarães (1-0) and highlighted the team’s collective performance, with special mention for Diogo Costa.

“After the missed penalty, what mattered was the desire we showed and our willingness to try again, to go back and fight. The impact of the players who came on helped improve things. Oskar Pietuszeswki, in 20 minutes, won a penalty and forced a sending off, it was very positive for him. William, Bednarek, and Rodrigo, they all did well. And we saw a great goalkeeper, he helped us a lot to keep a clean sheet, the 14th of the season,” emphasized the coach, who praised Diogo Costa.

“They had some good chances and Diogo Costa was fantastic, that’s what it means to have one of the best goalkeepers in the world. It’s great to see him in action. We prefer to see him using his feet in the build-up, but he’s also essential defensively. He was very brave in the air and in matches like this, with lots of duels and a lot of intensity, it’s very important to have a goalkeeper who helps win games,” he stressed.
