After Armenia v Portugal, Jorge Jesus’ Benfica protégé admits: “We’ll be…” | OneFootball

Summoned at the last minute, after Diogo Dalot's injury, Nuno Tavares was an option for Roberto Martínez in the match between Portugal and Armenia, which ended with a national triumph by 5-0. At the end of the match, the former Benfica player, who worked with Jorge Jesus, made a guarantee about his dedication to the national team.

In statements to national media, the left-back who plays for Lazio commented on Portugal's superiority: "In the 1st half we did the things we should have done and extended the lead to comfortable numbers. But we were always looking for more and we achieved the victory."

Against a theoretically more accessible opponent, Nuno Tavares assured that the focus never changed: "We always had the ambition to want to win the game, from the first minute. The locker room was focused and united and we knew what we had to do. We simplified things in the first half."

Already thinking about the match on September 9, against Hungary, the left-back emphasizes its importance: "It will be a good game, with a great opponent and we will be prepared, as it happens with any opponent. We are always focused on doing our job."

"Regarding the starting lineup, it's not up to me, but I'm here and prepared like the others to give my best and play for the National Team. As a player, I always want to be among the best. It's always a pleasure to represent the National Team and I'm just one more to help the team," he finally added.
