Farioli spoke about Gabriel Mec, the young Brazilian who arrived at FC Porto in recent days. The coach compared the new signing to Rodrigo, stating that the player shows some characteristics similar to those of the Portuguese forward.

Gabriel Mec did not arrive at the club alone. Giménez was another signing made by FC Porto during the same period, joining the young Brazilian in the new phase of the team.

However, Giménez presents some physical concerns. His fitness condition needs to be managed carefully, which could influence his usage in the first matches.

The signings of Gabriel Mec and Giménez come as part of FC Porto's strategy to strengthen the squad during this transfer window, with Farioli highlighting the Brazilian's qualities and his possible similarity to Rodrigo regarding playing style.
