“I’m the same Xeyrius and I’m back to try to win another title” | OneFootball

After playing for FC Porto in 2024/25, a season in which he helped win the Super Cup and the Portuguese Cup, Xeyrius Williams returns to the Dragons to once again join the national champion basketball team in the 2026/27 season. The American forward/center points to Fernando Sá as “one of the main reasons” for his return to Invicta, admitting that “it was an easy decision to make” and that he is “very excited” to reunite with his teammates and get back to work. Without giving up his identity, he assures that he is “the same Xeyrius,” with the goal of “trying to win another championship,” while also stressing the importance of “building on the success of last season.” As for the games at Dragão Arena, he acknowledges that “it is always a special feeling.”

Fernando Sá’s decisive role“Coach Fernando Sá was a very important part of my desire to return. I spoke with him, he gives me a lot of confidence, I saw the success he had, and we all know he is a great coach and a great person. He gets the best out of each of his players, so it was an easy decision to make, and he is one of the main reasons.”

Building on a successful season“After winning a championship, my goal is to add value in whatever ways I can. In my year we had success, but we didn’t win the championship, which is always the main objective. My goal is to win another championship. We have to be able to do it again and keep building on the success of last season.”

The collective above all“I believe my last season was very good, I achieved many of my goals. It was a good season individually, but also collectively, and that is the most important thing to me. It is always about the team. I will keep doing what I usually do, nothing has changed. I am the same Xeyrius and I am coming back to try to win another championship.”

Looking forward to reuniting with his teammates“I’m very excited to see them again, I can’t wait to get back to work with my teammates. I’m excited to see them again, but to the fans I say that we are going to need their support. It’s going to be a great season, but this is not over. We are going to try to grow from last year, and we need our fans for that.”

A special bond with Dragão Arena“Playing at Dragão Arena is always a special feeling, especially after seeing what the fans did during the finals and throughout the Playoffs in terms of support. Now that I’m coming back, I hope to see that same fire from our fans. The atmosphere is incredible, but it is only incredible when our fans want it to be. We are going to give our all, and the fans have to come support us.”
