“ Athe games aren't easy. They have a very efficient, complete and dangerous team. We are aware of this and we know that only our best version is that it can get here and win”, said in press conference forecast of the match.
Reuben Dias, 29 years old, assured that the Portuguese team wants to be strong in Thursday's game, highlighting the pride of representing Portugal, with praise to the selectioner Jorge Jesus, who took over the team's destinies after the departure of the Spanish Roberto Martínez, after the World Cup2026.
“ It was a positive reunion. A lot has changed and I think it's going to be the first big step so we can achieve what we want. As the master says, a team is closer to winning to defending themselves well and, little by little, the idea of the master is already very much reflected in the field. I have worked with the master in the past and it is all easier when things make sense”, he stressed.
The central of the English of the City, which amounts to 82 internationalizations, explained that the group of Portugal in the League of Nations is strong, with teams with physical power, but it is also an opportunity for the formation of 'quinas' to grow in this new cycle.
“ The approach is what we have to face. It's not changing how we play it, it's being aware of who we're going to play and know the dangers each team has to offer us. Then we are who we are, have our quality ", defended.
Regarding his performance and some interventions, such as the cut that prevented a goal from the Norwegian advanced Erling Halaand, Dias explained that this is his job and that he always seeks to be available to react and win the bids.
Portugal leads Group A4 with six points, against three from Norway and also from Denmark, while Wales is at zero.
Denmark-Portugal is scheduled for Thursday, at 20:45 locals (19:45 Lisbon), at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, and will be arbitrationed by Ukrainian Mykola Balakin.
