Miguel Brás da Cunha: Stronger unity now than two years ago | OneFootball

Miguel Brás da Cunha asserts without hesitation that FC Porto is experiencing a period of cohesion, following the episode marked at the General Assembly on November 13, 2023. The lawyer and member of the club's Superior Council assures that the path taken has helped the Dragons rediscover their identity.

“I feel the club today as I hadn't felt it in four years. There are various ways to feel the club, there are different visions on what to do, but there is a sentiment among almost all members that they are pulling in the same direction, and that, yes, is very positive. Differences are not erased, and it's good that there are differences, different ways of thinking and acting within the club, but we've returned to what we've always been, which is everyone different rowing in the same direction, that is what's fundamental for the club,” highlighted Miguel Brás da Cunha, in statements to Record, seeing a clear difference compared to what was happening at the end of 2023.

He emphasized that, comparing the current situation with that of two years ago, the sense of unity is much stronger and should be preserved. “Looking at the club, what it was two years ago and what it is today, there is a significant difference. There is a much greater sense of unity today than there was two years ago, unequivocally. This is something that should be preserved. The most precious asset achieved in this journey was aligning almost the entire club with a single purpose, which is safeguarding the interests of FC Porto. That is, perhaps, the biggest difference,” reinforced this member of the Dragons' Superior Council, acknowledging that “that General Assembly was a significant moment because it was very negative in the life of the club.” “Given the state of things at the time, it is very natural that it was also a catalyst for change, clearly yes,” he further admitted.

Following the club's daily life since that GA, Miguel Brás da Cunha considers that FC Porto has regained the direction and unity of other periods, identifying with the leadership of André Villas-Boas.

“Now, there is an atmosphere that is typical of FC Porto, an atmosphere of hope for positive days, days of victories, and above all, great pride in what are the unique characteristics of FC Porto. It is something that was not achieved immediately after the electoral process, but today, a year and a half after the elections, it is clearly noticeable. FC Porto with its own voice, a strong voice, an assertive voice, is something very positive for the members. The members see this as a unifying factor, and when we see the club's presidency taking on this combative stance in defending the club's interests, that is the main unifying factor that has made the difference in this more recent period,” emphasized Miguel Brás da Cunha.
