Farioli hails “mature display” and key edge: “Tempo, hunger, spirit” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli said he was very pleased with the performance and the result achieved against Estoril, in FC Porto’s 1-3 victory.

Match analysis: “It was a very mature game. A very well-played game in the opening minutes, with good spells on the ball. I think it was a game in which the result could have been more emphatic in the first half. We scored three goals but we could have scored at least two more. We need to keep improving, because if we want to kill off the game earlier, it will be better for everyone.”

Whether intensity made the difference: “It was the tempo, the hunger and the spirit. It was a mature game, with a strong identity in what we want to do. The result could have been even bigger against a team that scores a lot of goals. It was a deserved victory.”

Importance of set pieces: “It is very important, but in the end everything matters. Over the 90 minutes, there are many passages of play, moments of transition, everything has special value and we try to place special value on everything. Then the most important thing is the players’ execution, and that is why, with their quality, we have the opportunity to score good goals.”
