In an interview with Sport Week magazine, Benfica's manager stated: "Portugal are capable of anything. They possess an incredible generation of players. A year ago, they won the Nations League. We won the European Championship in 2016, and this generation is technically better than that side. Of course, there's Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil and Argentina, but Portugal can win this World Cup."
