Fernando Sá: "A truly special win after all we've been through" | OneFootball

FC Porto returned to winning ways in the FIBA Europe Cup by defeating the Rostock Seawolves 87-75 in the 3rd round of Group B, on a memorable night at Dragão Arena.

“Above all, I want to express the pride I have in this squad, which gives everything in training and works with great dedication,” began Fernando Sá, also praising the group’s performance as “very intelligent.” “When we are here, at a club like FC Porto, which I know as a fan, player, and coach, there is no other way to be. No matter who is here, the dedication and commitment must always be the same. The attitude is always to win,” the coach added.

Competence and Intelligence“Above all, I want to express the pride I have in this squad, which gives everything in training and works with great dedication. We played an almost exemplary game defensively, fought hard for rebounds, and made excellent offensive decisions. We made good use of both the outside and inside game and always knew how to react to their changes. It was a very intelligent game on our part.”

A Triumph with Special Meaning“This is a very special victory because of everything we have experienced here day to day. The way the players never gave up and believed in the process gives us encouragement for the future, to keep working and improving. I think that many times the players are not respected for the way they are treated in some forums, but they are great workers and this can bring results in the future.”

The Porto Way“When we are here, at a club like FC Porto, which I know as a fan, player, and coach, there is no other way to be. No matter who is here, the dedication and commitment must always be the same. The attitude is always to win.”
