Rodrigo and Gabri sprinted 50 metres backwards to help the team | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Nice, for the Europa League, Francesco Farioli commented on the possibility of once again fielding Rodrigo Mora and Gabri at the same time and praised the young FC Porto players who are competing in the U-17 World Cup:

Mora and Veiga together again against Nice?

“The possibility is there, it already existed before the last match. It was something I had in mind from the start. We need to find the right moment and the most suitable type of game. The most important thing is for the team to be competitive in order to win games. Samu received two yellow cards for celebrating two goals, and for one of them I almost fought with him. This is the spirit we want to have, but without the yellow cards. Samu is a good example of what it means to fight for the team in different ways. If I close my eyes, I can recall at least three moments when Rodrigo Mora and Gabri Veiga sprinted 50 meters back to help the team recover.”

“Tomorrow will be a great opportunity for them to have an incredible experience and celebrate a very important title. It’s important for FC Porto to have five players there, four of them regular starters. We are following their progress. Some have already trained with the first team. We are supporting them, now that they are going to play the final in Qatar.”
