“Diogo Costa? There’s nothing new, we won’t have updates every hour” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, spoke after the 1-0 win over Torreense, a result that secured the Dragons the Super Cup.

Starting the season with a trophy

«There is a very good atmosphere with so many Porto supporters here. It was a very difficult game. Full credit must go to Torreense for their organization and the quality of many of their players. They are a very physical team that made life very difficult for us. But it was important to win, we managed it, and now we have a few hours to celebrate. After that, full focus on next week and on the start of the league season.»

Bednarek’s physical issue related to the pitch

«It was not easy to play on this pitch; there were many moments when players slipped. Bednarek’s injury, hopefully it is nothing serious, but he twisted his knee, so we have to assess the situation more carefully tomorrow. They were difficult circumstances, but a result like this, a win like this, is very important.»

Did the match mark Diogo Costa’s farewell?

«That is not certain. I know it will be a recurring topic, but we are not going to have updates every hour or new things to add, so I think I have already expressed myself loud and clear about that. Honestly, I have nothing more to add.»

What gift would you like to receive from André Villas-Boas?

«That is not a topic that can be discussed in front of a microphone.»
