Bernardo Ribeiro reacted very critically to Francesco Farioli’s statements after Porto’s elimination from the Portuguese Cup against Sporting, pointing the finger at the Italian coach’s remarks and the way he described the match.
The moment of greatest tension came when the coach said the Dragons had “crushed Sporting at every level,” a view that the director of the newspaper 'Record' completely rejects, describing that interpretation as “the most dishonest analysis I’ve seen from the Big Three this year”.
leaving the idea of alignment with Porto’s internal narrative: “Farioli could also think a little more for himself”.
Bernardo Ribeiro ended with an ironic and forceful remark: “You have to have some nerve to come out and say that Porto crushed Sporting at every level. If they crushed them, it was with their studs into Sporting’s players’ legs,” he said on Now channel.
The green-and-white side will return to action next Sunday, April 26, against AVS SAD. The match, for the 31st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by João Henriques, will be played in Vila das Aves at 8:30 pm.
