“This title is special to me”

The National Champion trophy won by the basketball team is now on display at the FC Porto Museum and, as usual, the goal is to “leave behind a little piece of history.” After a season of “hard work” and “great dedication,” with “many people involved in the same goal,” Fernando Sá highlighted that it is precisely this “team” effort that makes everything “simpler.” On a personal level, the coach did not hide that this title “is special,” not only because it was “the Club’s and the team’s main objective,” but also because it was “my first title as a coach.” “Every time we come here, our responsibility to come back grows,” added Fernando Sá.

Coming to the Museum every year is a goal“It is our wish to finish every season at this Club by coming here to the Museum and leaving behind a little piece of history. It was very well deserved. It was a season of hard work, great dedication, with many people involved in the same goal, and it ended the way we had all hoped for. It had been a long time since basketball won this trophy and every time we come here, our responsibility to return grows.”

In the Club’s history as a player and coach“I feel very honored. In my small contribution to the Club’s history, and looking back on my past, having been team captain and having won titles, being able to make history as a coach as well is something that makes me very happy. I came here feeling very calm, very proud, and very pleased with the working group. From the Board to the players, including every department, we all worked in the same direction and that makes me satisfied. This is what teamwork is, and when that happens, things become simpler.”

A special achievement“This title is special to me. First, because it is the Club’s and the team’s main objective. Then, because it is my first title as a coach and we had not managed to win it for ten years. That makes me satisfied and, professionally speaking, it is clearly the high point of my life.”
