Paligna: Portugal s goal is to qualify as soon as possible, I m ready to play at any time

October 7th News Portugal will usher in two key battles in the World Cup qualifiers on the International Match Day. Before the game, Portuguese midfielder Palinia, who currently plays for Tottenham, was interviewed by media reporters.

■The Portuguese team has a clear goal and hopes to qualify for the World Cup as soon as possible. After all, two home games mean great advantages and passion.

Palinia said: "We hope to complete the promotion goal as soon as possible. If we can ensure that we qualify in advance and celebrate with the fans, that is the ideal situation."

■With Joao Neves' absence, will this be a good opportunity for Palinia to prove herself? In day-to-day training, Palinia went all out and expressed her desire to play with her actions.

Palinia said: "I have always hoped to have a chance to start. I am ready at any time and if I am called, I will play; if not, I will fully support the national team. Of course, I hope to play, but in the end it is the head coach who will decide who is in better shape. My task is to prove myself in training."

■It has been more than a year since Palinia last started for Portugal, and he knows it. When talking about the reasons, he admitted that his period at Bayern was indeed difficult.

Paligna said: "The performance of the national team is often closely related to the players' situation in the club, which is a fact. Last season was very difficult for me, especially after being injured here. After returning from injury, I did not get the opportunity I think I deserve, which may also affect my playing time with the national team."

"Career is a process of stage after stage. Football and even life are actually fleeting. I want to try my best to seize the present and enjoy the opportunity."
