Dua Lipa Songs Interrupt Portugal Coach Roberto Martinez's Press Conference

Portugal's pre-World Cup press conference ahead of their clash with Colombia was interrupted by a technical glitch that blasted British singer Dua Lipa's music at full volume. The music played for almost two full songs at Miami Stadium before anyone could stop it.

A FIFA spokesperson apologized to Portugal coach Roberto Martinez for the disruption, but the 52-year-old Spaniard clearly found the situation amusing.

“No problem at all. We just need to dance. Dua Lipa probably supports Portugal,” he quipped with a smile.

Portugal needs a victory to top Group K, as they currently sit two points behind the South American side. Following their dominant 5-0 win against Uzbekistan, Martinez expressed his desire to “build on the momentum from the last match.”

He also praised Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, who netted twice against Uzbekistan after failing to score in the 1-1 draw with DR Congo.

“Having a captain with six World Cup appearances in the squad is certainly beneficial. But we shouldn't forget that we also have the captain of Manchester United, the captain of Porto, and players from Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain,” Martinez added.
