Farioli: “In Nottingham it'll be different, they'll be more aggressive” | OneFootball

Before turning their attention to the trip to Estoril on Sunday, Francesco Farioli had already looked ahead to the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. Speaking at the press conference after the draw against Nottingham Forest (1-1), the FC Porto coach revealed that he had a brief conversation with Vítor Pereira.

Francesco and Vítor

“I spoke to Vítor a few minutes ago, in a friendly way, and he reminded me that everyone wants to win. In Nottingham we will face an opponent that will want to win and will be more aggressive. We have a squad in which everyone can play, but we cannot forget who Nottingham are, with 22 top players. We will prepare for the second leg just as we did for tonight.”

“Vítor Pereira’s assessment is fair, we were the team that deserved to win, but in Nottingham it will be a different game. They will get several important players back. A lot will change within a week.”
