In the press conference before Portugal's UEFA Nations League home match against Norway, Bruno Fernandes discussed the team's adaptation to Jesus' tactical philosophy, his own position on the field, and the controversy surrounding Ronaldo. He stated that there is no division within the Portuguese team and urged fans not to take sides. This article is the third part of the press conference.

LiveMode reporter: I'm still sad that the goal you promised me at the World Cup didn't materialize; I hope it happens tomorrow. The coach sitting next to you said that football is an art, and coaches are artists, as are players. If we view these matches as a play divided into acts, then, as you said, the first act focused on defense, and the second on positional attack. I want to ask, what can we expect in tomorrow's third act? And as an artist in this third act, what else can you bring that we haven't seen before?

I don't know. An artist always has to keep a few tricks up their sleeve, so tomorrow we will take the field and try to bring joy to the Portuguese people once again. As the coach said, we have many excellent players who can create wonderful moments at any time in the game. I hope everyone is inspired tomorrow, so the Estádio do Dragão can celebrate again and again.

We have had many joyful moments here. As I recall, in many recent qualifiers, we secured qualification for the European Championship or World Cup in this stadium, or advanced to the next stage. I hope this is also a good omen.

Norwegian reporter: Regarding Bernardo Silva's tackle on Martin Ødegaard in the last match, Norwegian players later hinted that there might be retaliation tomorrow. What is your response to these statements from the Norwegian players?

I have nothing to say about that. I, Bernardo, and Martin all play in the Premier League. In terms of the intensity of tackles and physical challenges, it's probably one of the toughest leagues to play in, so I'm not worried about it. We are ready to win the game tomorrow. Whatever the game requires us to do, we will do. But we want to play good football, we want to win the game, and we want to perform to the best of our abilities, because we know we are fully capable of doing so.

Norwegian reporter: You've been playing for the Portuguese national team for a long time. How would you compare this current generation of Portuguese stars with previous generations of players you've played with? Also, do you think winning the European Championship is a realistic goal for this team?

I think every generation of players is different. Every past Portuguese team had its own abilities and characteristics. Everyone is different, but at the same time, the quality of Portuguese players has always been there. So I don't think we can compare teams from different periods in the past with the present.

What we can control is what we can do from now until tomorrow, and every step after that. As the Portuguese national team, the most important thing is to continue to grow, to maximize the abilities of every talented player who emerges, and to help them become the best versions of themselves. No matter where they go in the world, they make us proud.

Norwegian reporter: You know Solskjaer very well from your time together at Manchester United. Have you been in contact with him about these upcoming matches against Norway? Also, what are your memories of his time as manager at Manchester United?

Without a doubt, Solskjaer is a very important coach to me. He gave me the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. I was very happy during my time with him. To be honest, we haven't talked about this matchup. We occasionally talk about football, but we haven't had the chance to discuss this game yet.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. I hope after the game, I can send him a message with a result that is good for me and not so good for him.

Bruno, your former teammate Højlund made a special celebration after scoring against your team in the last match. There are also some videos that seem to show him pushing your coach after the game. What do you think of these situations?

I didn't see that. I saw the celebration, but he did it last time too, so I know he really likes Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is one of his idols. He also did this move last time when Ronaldo was on the field. At that time, he was worried that Ronaldo would be angry with him because of it.

So he's just another kid who grew up idolizing Ronaldo, like many of us in the Portuguese team. He watched Ronaldo play and wanted to imitate everything he did. Obviously, this is probably one of the most iconic celebrations in football history. You will continue to see this celebration for the next thirty, fifty, sixty, seventy years. So I am very proud that someone is imitating what a Portuguese player has done.
