Linked with Benfica, footballer on mood after Middle East tensions | OneFootball

Pedro Malheiro shared accounts of the atmosphere in the United Arab Emirates following the escalation of tension in the Middle East. The Portuguese full-back, who was linked to Benfica, admitted that, despite the calm observed in Dubai, uncertainty persists.

"The reality is that people are living normal lives. I go out to the supermarket and return home", reported the former Boavista player, in statements to Rádio Renascença, where he explained that people continue to go out and children play normally.

"Sunday scared me a little, there were three stronger explosions, that's when we canceled training. On Tuesday, we hardly heard anything, except for some jets at night", the footballer admitted, saying he experienced moments of uncertainty and fear when it all began.

"50 minutes for a missile... it's all close, really", noted Pedro Malheiro, recounting that there are rumors of missiles falling near Dubai, which does not leave the Al Wasl athlete - who will face Al Nassr, led by Jorge Jesus, in Champions 2 - unsettled.

"This can change everything from one day to the next", admitted the footballer coached by Rui Vitória, after revealing that Al Wasl conveyed a message of calm, stating that training sessions can return to normal. The next match for the UAE team is scheduled for March 7.
