Farioli on Portuguese press games: “Seen Hjulmand's foot, now Inácio's” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, speaking in the preview of the visit to Amadora, where his team will face Estrela in the matchday 31 game scheduled for this Sunday.

Refereeing controversies

«In the Cup, there was a game before and after the fifth minute. The images are clear. There were people very close by and television footage of the incident to assess it, during the two-minute stoppage after the injuries to William and Gonçalo (Inácio). Leaving aside the three possible penalties, that incident could have drastically changed the dynamic of the game.»

Punishment requested by Sporting for Gabri Veiga

«My analysis of that game ends at the fifth minute. But if we are going to analyse it play by play, our list is a little longer. We are never happy to see players get injured, but that is part of football. When the ball is between the players, it is football, but this season we have already seen moments when the ball is already a bit far away… I saw Morten Hjulmand’s foot, but I am also curious to see Gonçalo’s (Inácio).»

Despite the Cup elimination, did you like seeing the fans’ reaction?

«The voice of the Dragão was clearly heard, and it was not the first time that happened. It is important to feel that support also in moments like these eliminations [Europa League and Portuguese Cup] that we have had. Now we are fully focused on our work and on giving the club and the fans what they deserve. It is the only thing that matters to me.»
