Basketball: FC Porto back in the European hunt, eyes on leaders Rostock | OneFootball

No time for rest, FC Porto returns to European competitions this Tuesday, less than a week after the last matchday, to face the Rostock Seawolves, a German team that remains undefeated in Group B of the FIBA Europe Cup.

The match, scheduled for 8:00 PM at Dragão Arena, is yet another test of the resilience of a Porto squad affected by injuries but determined to keep their ambition alive in the tournament.

In a context where the physical management of the group becomes almost as demanding as the opponent, the blue and white team seeks to respond with attitude. Among those maintaining competitiveness is Jhonathan Dunn, an American point guard who, despite the difficulties, prefers to view them as an opportunity for growth.

In statements to the club's official website, Dunn said: “We have been going through a tough phase, with many absences, but that has only made us more cohesive,” and added: “When we are complete again, we will be even stronger. The key is to face this moment with the right mindset.”

The player assures that confidence remains intact even in the face of the opponent's value and highlights FC Porto's strengths: “Rostock is a great team, they have quality in three-pointers and great ball circulation, but we also have our strengths: unity, hard work, and the support of our fans. We want to start strong, impose our rhythm, and show the energy that characterizes FC Porto.”

Dunn also made an appeal to the Porto supporters, highlighting the influence of the atmosphere at Dragão Arena: “We need your support, your voice. Playing at home is an extra strength, and we want to repay that love on the field, minute by minute.”
