Rafael Leão was the team’s first spokesman before the games against Ireland and Serbia, the last two in qualifying for access to the 2022 World Cup, and the Milan forward guaranteed that the selection will have ambition in both games.
What they learned after the last game against Ireland: “We know they are a strong, competitive team, but we are going to enter with a desire to win because we are Portugal, it is important to win the points.”
How they see the two games: «The message you need [Fernando Santos] it’s just that we have two finals and we don’t play to draw. We want to win both to pass the group in first place.»
Dangers: “These are two strong teams, maybe we’ll have some anxiety about qualifying, we’ll go in focused, with our quality and will we’ll be strong.”
More happy to work with Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic: “They’re two players I admire a lot, I always try to learn from them, but of course I’m happier to be able to share the field with Ronaldo because he’s a player I admire a lot.”
What’s left to do now? “I was close to scoring, I had a good performance, but I’m here to be one more person to help, to learn from those who are.”
