'We competed very well between the two areas'

CNN Portugal8 September 2026 at 23:10

Francesco Farioli analyzed FC Porto's performance in the match against Manchester City. The coach considered that the Porto team competed well during the encounter between the two areas of the pitch.

According to Farioli, FC Porto's weakness was precisely inside the two areas at the Dragão, that is, both in the defensive area and in the offensive area. This analysis indicates that the team had difficulties in decisive moments within the zones closest to the goals.

Farioli's comment comes as a technical assessment of the Portuguese team's performance in the game against the Citizens. The reference to the two areas suggests that the problem was not limited to the defensive sector, but also to the ability to finish and create goal-scoring opportunities.
