Nélson Semedo: "It was crucial to win and assert our potential"

Introduced at halftime in Portugal's clash against Uzbekistan, replacing João Cancelo, Nélson Semedo also spoke to Sport TV after the second-round World Cup match, which saw the Seleção secure a dominant 5-0 victory.

"It was crucial to win, to advance to the next stage and to assert our potential, which we know is immense. The first game wasn't played as well, and the result didn't reflect our quality," stated the Fenerbahçe player.
