Farioli on youngster Tiago Silva’s debut: “A positive impact” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto coach, spoke in the press room at Desportivo das Aves Stadium after the 3-1 defeat to AVS. The manager also had praise for Prpic, despite the sending-off.

Was Tiago Silva a reward, or did you believe he could add something?

«It’s something I really wanted to do. He has been with us for a long time, raising the level in every session. He has been on my radar since I arrived, he has been working hard, he has passing ability and he is aggressive. His introduction gave us some interesting things, he plays with personality and had a positive impact.»

«A word for Prpic: his last game had been in December and, in my opinion, he played a good match. He was involved in both goals, the one we scored and the one that was disallowed by centimetres. Unfortunately, he cannot play in the last game. We are happy with the way he played; obviously, we are not pleased with the way he got sent off.»

Team for the final round. Could anyone else make their debut?

«We have a week to think about that. We will start the week and see how it goes, so we can finish in the best possible way in front of our supporters. We want to reach the celebration with the right feelings; it is important to get to 88 points.»
