"He is a top striker, but Norway also has other top players. We have to have confidence in our work. Facing Haaland doesn't keep me awake at night. There are more important things in life." The defender Renato Veiga assured that he is confident for the duel on Sunday with Erling Haaland, but he reminded that Norway has other quality footballers and that Portugal will face a tough team. (translated)
"Of course I would rather have this game further on. I already went to check who the new selectors are and who won. It was just me and the one from France, no one else. We are working on serious games, it's not pre-season. But that's not an excuse. We have to speed up the process and be creative. It's many years of football and that doesn't bother me." The coach Jorge Jesus stated this Saturday that he would prefer to play in Norway further along in the UEFA Nations League calendar, but assured that Portugal is in Oslo to win against an opponent of "great quality." (translated)
Jorge Jesus revealed that João Neves will be a starter for the national football team, while Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtful for the match against Norway, and Bruno Fernandes is likely to be out due to an injury. (translated)
The urgency for a response on the field increases Ancelotti's dilemmas in the Brazilian National Team. The poor performance in the draw with Australia raised doubts at the beginning of the cycle for the 2030 World Cup. Brazil repeated problems seen in the elimination from the Cup, and Ancelotti is divided between renewing the squad and consolidating the work started in 2025. For the new match against Australia on Tuesday, the coach promised to test a different system. The expectation is for a more compact Brazil, with 3 midfielders and the possibility of Raphinha playing as a center forward. (translated)

I am Nelson Ferreira, welcome, champions. (translated)
And then, as Jorge Jesus says, you will have to correct some things game by game, because there is no time to train, and things, as I said, don't change overnight. (translated)
João Félix was the standout player in Portugal's 1-0 victory over Wales in Jorge Jesus's debut as manager, with notable contributions in both attack and defense, despite some initial difficulties from the team. (translated)

Ancelotti needs to start being held accountable for the poor work he is doing with the national team. There’s no longer any room for “he didn’t have preparation time,” “he is still getting to know the players,” “he needs to implement his ideas.” He had a terrible World Cup and now cannot win against Australia. The expectation for him needs to be in line with the size of his name and salary. If it were a Brazilian coach presenting this style of football, the tolerance would be ZERO. (translated)
Every time I see Rayan marking the opponent more than making the opponent mark him, I will complain. Every time I see Rayan entering the area and choosing to pass instead of finishing, I will also complain. And I will complain because I've been following Rayan's football since he was six or seven years old. I know the talent he has. I know how much he can be a protagonist, decide games, and be the guy in this cycle. That's why I won't accept him wanting to be just another player. Neither in the national team nor in Bournemouth. He cannot. He cannot accept this. If there is someone wanting to place him in this role of just being a supporting actor in his career, he needs to be rebellious and not accept it. Because he can be so much more than just another one. And if one day he has doubts about the player he can be, he just has to call me or Fernando Diniz. We will remind him of this every day so that he never forgets the talent he has. (translated)
