Statements by Francesco Farioli, in the press room at Estádio do Dragão, after FC Porto's 3-0 victory in the 19th round of the League: «What happened today with Samu is very special. He caught the ball and the stadium sang his name. They gave him a lot of support. Many of you have emphasized the emotional issue in recent days, but today he showed his character. He picked up the ball, took a deep breath and put it in the back of the net. The help of the “portista family” was very important at that time. That’s what we need in difficult times.” About the evolution of Martim Fernandes «Martim is playing more because he is progressing. I never had any doubts about its quality. Injuries at the beginning of the season delayed his progression. Then he made some mistakes when he returned, but no one pointed the finger at him. He is an 18 year old player. Sometimes it's difficult to deal with pressure. But he managed to clear his head, had the ability to wait for the opportunity and is much more mature and confident with the ball. Today he scored a great goal. The wind was also in our favor. I'm very happy for him. You deserve it.”
