Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, in the press conference that followed the 2-0 victory against AVS in the 16th round of the League: Strong entry in the second half was decisive “Starting the second half by scoring was a key point. In the first half, the pace wasn't always at the level we wanted, against a team that tried to lower it, but we could have done better. In the second half, we had a better approach, with a different rhythm, dynamics and looking for more solutions up front to enter the opponent's area. The goals put the game in the right direction.” Difficulties in dismantling AVS organization in the first part «In the first half, it was not easy to find the interior game, because the opponent was playing very close together and closed almost all passing lines. We had to be very precise in passing and controlling the ball, but we were somewhat clumsy in the decision. In the second half we improved and that helped open the game, even though in the first half we had some good chances.”
