The "very strange things", the classic with Benfica and Froholdt's return: what Farioli said

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 21:25

FC Porto coach Farioli spoke after the Dragons' 4-1 victory against Casa Pia, an expressive result. In his analysis of the match, the coach addressed various topics that marked the club's week.

Among the matters mentioned by Farioli, the "very strange things" that apparently happened in the Porto environment stand out. The coach also commented on the proximity of the classic against Benfica, a game that represents one of the most important moments on the team's calendar.

Another point highlighted was the return of Froholdt, a player who became an option again after a period of absence. The Danish midfielder's return was highlighted by the coach as a relevant factor for the team at this point in the season.

With this victory, FC Porto adds three important points in the standings, now preparing for the challenge against rival Benfica, in a classic that promises to be decisive for the aspirations of both teams in the competition.

Why this matters

FC Porto fans need to know that the team is preparing for the classic against Benfica, which is always a game of enormous sporting and emotional significance. Froholdt's return to training could be an asset for Porto's midfield, while Victor Lind's sending off limits Farioli's defensive options for the derby. The presentation of Højlund and O'Riley's absence also indicate the current state of the squad that will face the rival.
