Júlio Magalhães to Roberto Martínez: “Look at Farioli’s example…” | OneFootball

Júlio Magalhães praised the “great initiative” he found at the Betano Fan Zone, in Gaia, and, speaking to Portal dos Dragões shortly before Colombia-Portugal, offered a piece of advice… to Roberto Martínez.

“I think this is the first time I’ve watched a match in a Fan Zone. I was talking to a friend of mine and telling him that, really, it’s more fun to be here than at home at this time, with no one to talk to or celebrate a goal with. This place is magnificent and they deserve congratulations, it’s a great initiative. A special night,” the journalist began by saying.

Message for the players: “I’d actually give more of a message to the coach than to the players… The advice I’d give is that they should look at Farioli’s example. FC Porto didn’t have the most technically gifted players, but they had the physically strongest team. And they won the championship. And at this World Cup, we can see with the African national teams that physicality makes the difference.”
