Farioli on Europa defeat: “Move the posts a few centimetres” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli was at the press conference previewing FC Porto vs Tondela, on matchday 30, a significant game in the Primeira Liga title race. The Dragons’ coach recalled the Europa League elimination against Nottingham Forest, beginning by addressing the number of shots that hit the woodwork:

“Well, considering those numbers, maybe we should move the posts a few centimeters. But that’s not possible, so we have been focusing on improving that aspect. Our Europa League elimination taught us a great lesson: in these games and at this level, everything is decided by the details.”

About Alan Varela’s shot, Francesco Farioli said:

“In reality, I’m not a big fan of long-range shots, because it’s harder to score that way, although that also depends on the player’s quality. We have Alan and Gabri, who are very strong in that aspect, and of course Alan’s shot against Nottingham was very good, but that is not something we work on much. It has more to do with his natural quality.”

FC Porto vs Tondela will be played at 8:30 pm next Sunday, April 19, at the Estádio do Dragão.
