Rúben Dias Addresses Beach Controversy

Rúben Dias addressed the upcoming World Cup match against Uzbekistan this Friday and responded to criticism regarding the players' beach outings in front of their training camp hotel.

— What's your take on the criticism about going to the beach?

— It shouldn't have been an issue, and part of that is your fault. It's your duty to report accurately and not create negative energy. I believe it's beneficial for all of us; time is crucial, but biologically, it's good for us. Even the coach wasn't afraid to go, knowing full well you'd react the way you did. I take my hat off to him.
