Fernando Sá, FC Porto coach: “Some things make no sense…” | OneFootball

FC Porto claimed their sixth win in the Betclic League this Sunday. In the closing game of the 18th round, the Dragons beat CA Queluz 99-94 and moved clear in third place, ahead of Ovarense, who are precisely their next opponents.

“The win is clearly the most important thing, but what also stands out is the resilience the players showed throughout the game, despite some lack of preparation on the part of the refereeing team. Coaches and players try to prepare for games, but I think there was some lack of consistency and preparation from the referees. There are things that are hard to understand, and that leaves me a bit worried. Congratulations to the Queluz team, who played two excellent games. I believe the refereeing team also tried to do the best they could, but I notice that sometimes they do not know the players, the game, and the situations well enough, and that ends up creating some instability,” commented Fernando Sá, coach of the Dragons.

Corey Allen and Miguel Queiroz stood out. “Corey showed that he is a player we identify with and one we needed. He did not have an easy start and was unable to play for almost a month due to the legalisation process. Right after that, he suffered a slight injury and, in the first few games, things did not go as he had hoped, but through hard work, dedication, commitment, and his ability to never give up, he showed a great desire to keep going and has now been delivering excellent performances,” he said, before then praising Miguel Queiroz: “He is a player who understands the game extremely well, reacts to every situation in the moment, and makes the right read in 99% of situations, especially in the pick-and-roll. As a result, he draws in the pass and defenders and avoids rotations, providing other important solutions for the team.”
