Farioli: “We’ve got a young side, still finding our feet…” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, speaking to SportTV’s flash interview after FC Porto’s 3-0 victory over Rio Ave in the 6th round of the League:

Assessment of the win over Rio Ave

“We had a good start, total control, and I think at a certain point we dropped the intensity. Overall, it was a good game, but there are certain aspects we need to improve.”

Goals scored from corners

“We have to work and keep moving forward. It’s an important result, on a pitch where it’s never easy to play and in recent years it’s been difficult for us. We managed another game without conceding goals and that’s also good.”

Importance of the B team

“In the first three corners we scored two goals and that was good. Credit must go to the coaching staff and the players for the way they interpret our ideas. As for Ángel Alarcón, he’s been doing well in the last 15 days. He’s not the only one from the B team who has helped us, there’s a great connection between the two teams. These players are important for the club and it’s important how we are building a better FC Porto together.”

Expectations for the Europa League debut

“What I expect is growth in the players’ mentality and I think in that kind of match we need to know how to control the ball better. There aren’t many moments in the season when we’re winning 2-0, our team is young and still growing. We have to learn and work even harder, if possible.”
