We know about Portuguese football, we know the Portuguese culture.
In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese.
I studied a lot from bossa nova, and I used to listen to it a lot as a kid because my mum would play it. I even wanted to learn Portuguese in high school so I could sing in it.
'Conexao,' which means 'connection' in Portuguese, is about exploring the more nuanced highs and lows of romance.
When I take my free-kicks, I think in Portuguese, and at most, I'll do the celebrating in my native tongue.
I am like all Portuguese people in that I admire Mourinho a lot.
I connect with my culture through my family. I speak Portuguese to my parents so that I can practice. I stay engaged with my extended family through a lively group chat on WhatsApp. That sense of community and family is the heart of Brazilian culture, and staying engaged with my family is what keeps me connected.
I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.
A Portuguese is not going to punch you for no reason.
I was one of the lucky people who found what I loved at a really young age. When I was 16, I got my first job in a Portuguese soap opera, and I realized how much I really loved it.
