European champion insists: “FC Porto is the best club I’ve played for” | OneFootball

At 32 years old, Swedish player Linus Persson gives a very positive assessment of his first months with FC Porto’s handball team.

The right back, who helped Sweden win the European title in 2022, says he couldn’t be more satisfied with the decision he made in his career, after two seasons with the Danish team GOG.

“It’s been a very good adaptation, I’ve been here for a few months and I feel very happy. This club is super professional, the best I’ve ever played for, and I feel great and hope I can help the team win some trophies,” said the player who started his career at Malmo and played two seasons for the French side Nantes.

Previewing the 7th round match of the championship against Avanca, scheduled for this Friday, Persson admitted that the Dragons have only victory in mind, looking to build on the two consecutive wins achieved after the defeat to Sporting in the 4th round.

“It’s something new for me. It will be the first time I play against them and, through video analysis, I’ve noticed they have several good athletes who stand out in one-on-one situations, but this is a game we should win and we’ll see what happens. We’re in good shape and we feel the obligation to win,” emphasized the first line player, who has scored 31 goals in nine games.

The match kicks off at 8:00 PM at Dragão Arena, opening the seventh round of the championship.
