Following Brentford's triumph over Ruben Amorim's Manchester United (3-1), Jordan Henderson was questioned by TNT Sports about his return to the Premier League and, in his response, he didn't fail to mention… Francesco Farioli, the coach of FC Porto.
Peter Crouch asked the English international midfielder about the experience of playing in another league, in this case, the Eredivisie, where he was coached by the Italian manager, and the response brought effusive praise for the young coach: "I'm happy to be back, but I feel like I learned a lot in the two years away from the Premier League. It wasn't always easy, I admit, but I enjoyed many things. There were very good moments, especially last season at Ajax. We were a true team and the coach who came in was fantastic. He reignited my passion for the game, the way we played and how he set up the team. I'm very grateful to him for making me love playing football again."
