Ian Cathro on FC Porto fans booing Pizzi: “It’s very sad” | OneFootball

Ian Cathro expressed his displeasure at the whistles aimed at Pizzi, an Estoril Praia player who came on from the bench in the match against FC Porto. The Dragons’ fans did not take kindly to the Portuguese international’s presence on the pitch, something that left the Linha club’s coach visibly frustrated:

“It’s ugly and very sad. But I’m a foreigner, I’m not going to stand here throwing stones at the Portuguese people, because I want to be here and it’s my decision to be here. But, at the same time, it’s sad and ugly, full stop.”

Pizzi played for Benfica between 2014 and 2021 and was one of the Eagles’ biggest symbols over the last decade. This season, he has made 23 appearances, with one goal and five assists. He is 36 years old.
