Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, commented on the statements made by André Villas-Boas, president of the Dragons, and by Frederico Varandas, Sporting’s president, ahead of Saturday’s home match against Famalicão (8:30pm), for Matchday 28 of the league:
“As for what he (Frederico Varandas) said about ethics, it’s good that we agree. Ethics is about what we say and how we behave; just using that word is not enough to make us ethical. As a Porto supporter, I feel very well represented by our president, André Villas-Boas, in the way he defends the club and the good name of the institution. I can only be fully aligned, word for word, with everything he said when he was in Lisbon a few days ago. The president made me very proud with the way he defended the team and the club. He was very clear on all the key points. On the other hand, in a few weeks we will host them (Sporting) at the Dragão in the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, but before that we have many matches to play. Our priority is tomorrow’s match, which will be competitive and deserves our full attention.”
