Francesco Farioli saw it too: “Sporting used every trick to stop us” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli analyzed the goalless draw between FC Porto and Sporting, a result that knocked the Dragons out of the Portuguese Cup. In the press conference, the coach showed his displeasure with the way the Lisbon side approached the match, although he acknowledged Sporting’s quality.

“What I told the players was to be proud of their performance. We prepared the game to have a very strong approach, to be brave and to go full throttle. I think we pushed an incredible team like Sporting to the limit, with very good players, a team that are back-to-back champions. We are talking about a top team, and today we took them to the limit. They had to use every trick possible to stop a team like ours, which deserved to score at least one goal. We have to accept the result, turn the page and move forward,” the coach concluded.
