Oscar Bobb in fluent Portuguese: “I grew up in Porto, mum lives there” | OneFootball

Oscar Bobb, a 22-year-old Norwegian forward, caught the attention of the Brazilian press when he analyzed Norway’s 2-1 win over Brazil in the World Cup round of 16 in flawless Portuguese. The former Manchester City player, who was on the pitch for 45 minutes in the clash with the Seleção, explained where his fluency in Portuguese comes from.

“I grew up in Porto and my mother still lives there,” said Bobb, who came through FC Porto’s youth system before returning to Norway. Meanwhile, the Fulham winger has not lost his strong Portuguese, as he speaks daily with teammates at the English club: “I also have a lot of Brazilian friends. I have two at Fulham, Rodrigo Muniz and Kevin. That’s why I still speak Portuguese — I talk to them every day.”

Before explaining his command of Portuguese, Oscar Bobb commented on the round-of-16 victory. “Brazil was unlucky. I think our goalkeeper had an incredible game. Then we have Haaland... I don’t know if it’s Brazil’s fault. It’s a football match, things happen,” said the Norway winger in impeccable Portuguese.
