Jalen Riley: "We’ll give our all to secure a second win" | OneFootball

The second round of the FIBA Europe Cup takes FC Porto’s basketball team to the University of Tartu, home of Tartu Ulikool, with the game scheduled for 5:00 PM on Wednesday (Porto Canal). Still recovering from the defeat against Sporting and already preparing for the trip to Estonia to face “a good team, with good shooters and good players,” Jalen Riley says it’s time to “move forward” and “show confidence on the court so that results will come.” “We’re going to give our best to get the second win,” assures the American point guard.

Goal: 2-0 in Europe“We know we have to recover from the result in the classic, stay focused and concentrated, and prepare for the next game in the best way possible. That’s the task at hand right now and we’re going to give our best to get the second win in the FIBA Europe Cup.”

The classic still on our minds“We haven’t forgotten the result against Sporting, but we have to move on. From here on, the games will come one after another and we can’t stay stuck in the past, because that won’t help us move forward.”

Opponent assessment“I’ve played in Estonia before and I know the teams there are tough to face. They have a very unique style, they play a different kind of basketball than usual, and we have to follow the game plan set by the coaching staff. We want to compete at the highest level and try to come back with the win. They are a good team, with good shooters and good players, and we have to be ready for that.”

Commitment made“I’m going to be myself, a player who gives everything on defense and offense and tries to help the team get another win. I’m confident, we have to keep building confidence as a team and grow from there. We’re going to show confidence on the court and hope the results will come.”
