After Tondela v Porto, Farioli pokes at Benfica and Sporting: winning | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli downplayed the advantage he has over his rivals. At the end of the match against Tondela — where former Benfica player Hugo Félix now plays — the coach of the blue and whites was direct about the points issue and stressed that it is not the time to start managing the gap.

In the press room of the Beira club, where the Dragons won 2-0, Farioli was asked about the draw that took place at Luz. “There is nothing to manage,” began the Italian coach, admitting that the current points lead is not enough.

“We have to accumulate points, win games, look ahead and focus on our journey,” concluded Francesco Farioli, explaining that the focus is on collecting all the points necessary to achieve the set goal: winning the National Championship.

It should be recalled that Porto, who were the last of the big three to play this round, visited Tondela’s ground, where they won 2-0, making the most of the draw between Benfica and Sporting, who at Estádio da Luz could do no better than a 1-1 draw.

After 13 rounds of Liga Portugal Betclic, the Dragons remain firmly at the top of the league (37 points), five points ahead of the Lions, who have 32 points. The Clube da Luz, meanwhile, is in third place, eight points behind the leader (29).
