Farioli “in love” with FC Porto: “We’re here from dawn to dusk” | OneFootball

The 465th edition of the magazine Dragons, released by FC Porto this Monday, featured the usual column 'The President's Vision', signed by André Villas-Boas, and a piece dedicated to the profile of Francesco Farioli.

The Italian coach highlighted the importance of "unity" and "mentality" in building a winning formula in the Invicta city, admitting to feeling "passionate" and even "a bit obsessive" in his performance with his technical team.

"Having the desire to give everything is non-negotiable. We spend many hours working and we cannot go home with the regret of not having given everything. I believe that mentality and unity are above everything. All coaches work hard, but this is where we can distinguish ourselves," began the new coach of the blues and whites.

"The football I propose is the one that most closely resembles my ideas, my way of being. A brave football built by the desire to be a protagonist and to put all the cards on the table," he added.

"We arrive in the morning and leave at night, often taking the computer home, because there is always something to improve. We are very passionate and a bit obsessive with what we do. We are always open to changes and to being challenged," completed Francesco Farioli.

In his intervention, André Villas-Boas praised the start of the season of the team and highlighted the chosen one to succeed Martín Anselmi.

"FC Porto is prepared to fight again for a top spot. A lot of work, resilience, and a strong will to win are needed to honor the Dragon's winning DNA. The commitment will have to be and will always be to play to win, to give everything for FC Porto, without concessions in a demanding context in order to continue the tradition of conquests," he said, before characterizing the young coach.

"Despite being young, he has a path full of successes and represents FC Porto's desire to bring new vitality to the identity and imprint a modern, but effective, approach to the football practiced. The profile combines innovation in methods, tactical rigor, a revitalized leadership and a remarkable work capacity that will be able to extract the best from each of the players from the first day," he underlined.

"The project for this season is clear, based on a virtuous balance between experience and youth, with respect for history, but with openness to innovation and the valorization of all talents. The approach to the transfer market was surgical and rational, aligned with the club's possibilities, without ever losing sight of financial sustainability and responsibility," concluded the president.
