«Estamos de volta aos bons velhos tempos da seleção portuguesa, em que não somos favoritos a nada»

"We're back to the good old days of the Portuguese national team, where we're not favorites for anything." Sports journalist and commentator Vítor Pinto analyzed Diogo Dalot's recent statements and the current situation of the national football team. During his speech, Vítor Pinto highlighted the change in discourse within the working group, contrasting initial expectations with the current reality. "We were all wrong. We all thought we were contenders," the commentator ironically stated, emphasizing that the coaching staff and players are now trying to reduce the pressure. Vítor Pinto said that Diogo Dalot has assumed the role of spokesperson for the group by suggesting that "it's good to lower expectations," aligning himself with the stance of coach Roberto Martínez and distancing himself from the more ambitious discourse of the Federation president, Pedro Proença. The journalist expressed his disappointment with recent performances, namely the draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo, stating: "we've been hearing since December that Portugal will win." #VítorPinto #NationalTeam #DiogoDalot #RobertoMartínez #PedroProença #RúbenDias #Football #WorldCup #Portugal #Sport #NOW #MarianaBel #MárioFigueiredo #Expectations #SportsJournalism
