Cristiano Ronaldo began by highlighting the “great work” of the team, which “against an opponent of great merit” knew how to assert its solidity and quality. “Come on! We are in the fight and our dream is still alive! Strength, Portugal”, wrote the captain daquinas on Instagram.

Even before CR7’s reaction was shared, Bernardo Silva had resorted to stories to share a photo with João Félix with #vamojemboraaaaaa. The first time that the duo formed in Benfica appeared together after a victory for Portugal, it was with sunglasses on the team bus after the victory against Ghana.

Outside of social networks and in statements to journalists, Rúben Dias highlighted a victory that allowed Portugal “to solidify what he has been working on and what is also the potential of this selection”???????? Assuring that the players are “very happy” for the victory, the Manchester City central defender assured that the National Team managed to “control the game against a great team”. In addition, he highlighted “everyone who entered”, because “they made a difference”.

Asked if only Portugal wanted to win the game in the first half, Rúben Dias responded as follows: “I think the strategy of each one is a bit. Anyone who has known Uruguay for many years knows that they are like that and many times that is the danger” of the game.

João Palhinha also considered that Portugal played an “excellent match” against Uruguay. ????????We completely dominate. We suffered at the beginning of the second half, because Uruguay was behind the result. We were very happy with the qualification”, he added.

Speaking to journalists, the Fulham midfielder also left a warning to the rival and the certainty that the National Team will fight to win the game against South Korea: “We want to win the game with South Korea to have three consecutive victories. If we then catch Brazil, Serbia or any other team, it doesn’t matter.???????? We care about playing our game. The other teams have to think that they are going to face a very strong team and a country hungry for titles”.
