“I told the players that they should be satisfied with the commitment and attention to detail they have shown. Last week it was very difficult, but we did well,” Fararoli said afterwards.
Technical manager Jorge Costa suddenly died of a heart attack last week. “We had the desire to honor his memory. They were emotional days, but the team played for Jorge. We thought it was great to see that.”
Just not a dream debut for Luuk de Jong at FC Porto, but a nice start for trainer Francesco Farioli due to a large victory
Thanks to the arrival of the almost 35-year-old De Jong, striker Samu Aghowa has a competitor. According to Farioli, that has no influence on Agohowa. “Samu knows what I expect, he is very motivated and wants to play a good season again. He is a young player with a lot of potential. Luuk comes to help, everything is clear. It’s good that we have two attackers of this level. They have a good click.”

Aghehowa produced two goals for Porto and showed a shirt with a tribute to Jorge Costa. In the 85th minute, De Jong replaced the 21-year-old Spanish Nigerian.
