Fernando Sá: “We’ll keep fighting for our goals with dignity” | OneFootball

The FC Porto basketball team started 2026 with a home victory against SC Braga (98-79). Coach Fernando Sá expressed being “very satisfied” with how “the players performed on the court” and “very happy” to feel that “the fans continue to support the team in every game.”

Although “the season is not going as planned,” the coach promises to “maintain the same objectives and fight for them in a very dignified manner.”

Convincing Victory“This game was a continuation of what we did against Galitos FC, with some even more positive aspects, which makes me satisfied. In the last quarter, things didn’t go so well, but I want to take responsibility for that, due to the management I made of the squad, which was not done in the best way and caused some instability in offensive and defensive terms.”

Renewed Squad“I would like to highlight that this game marked the return of many people to the team, and I admit that at the beginning I was somewhat curious to see how things would unfold. This was only the third game for Cornelius, the first for Corey Allen, and Robbie Beran has only had five practices. Therefore, the way they performed on the court leaves me very satisfied. This shows that they are focused and eager to improve.”

Corey Allen's Debut“I am not surprised; I am satisfied. I’m not just referring to the 16 points he scored, but to the way he passed the ball and found the best solutions on the court, the way he was committed to all offensive and defensive decisions, and the willingness he showed by questioning some doubts he had. I feel he is dedicated, focused, and committed to our goals, just like all his teammates.”
