Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, remembers that the championship is a marathon and leaves the possibility of surprises in the open training session on January 1st, at Dragão: Advantage for rivals «It is clear in our minds that we are in a marathon. The race is very long and full of challenges, starting with the next game against Santa Clara. We have to approach the next block of the game as we have done so far, game by game. Today, the last placed team did their best to win. It is how it is. There are no easy games in modern football. It’s too early to look at the goal.” Open training with new features? «It's good to have the first day (of the year) at Dragão, where we love to be, with our fans. We are looking forward to training and entering 2026 in the best shape. What's new in training? I don’t know, let’s see.”
