Dahl's progress at Benfica? Some say: not Sweden's Roberto Carlos, but... | OneFootball

Samuel Dahl is on the Swedish national team’s preliminary list for the World Cup. Asked about the matter, José Mourinho chose to deflect attention, stating that the responsibility lies solely with Graham Potter, Sweden’s national team coach. However, the Special One did praise the progress of Benfica’s left-back.

"I don’t know. It’s not for me. It’s for Potter. He has developed a lot," José Mourinho began by saying at the press conference, in remarks to a Swedish journalist who sought the Special One’s opinion on Dahl’s possible call-up to the national team, which will compete in the World Cup in North America.

"He’s not Sweden’s Roberto Carlos, but he’s a good player, a good man, one of those players that coaches always respect, but the decision is Potter’s," José Mourinho said, stressing that he has no influence whatsoever over the national coach’s decision on whether or not to call up the footballer for the World Cup.

It should be remembered that the match between Benfica and Braga ended in a 2-2 draw. Rafa Silva and Vangelis Pavlidis, from the penalty spot, scored the Eagles’ goals. Braga, meanwhile, celebrated goals from Pau Victor and Gorby. The Club from Luz remains in third place with 77 points.
