Cancelo talks about Jota: I will give him the goal, he will always be a part of our team

September 7th, in the fifth round of the European Group F group stage, Portugal defeated Armenia 5-0. Cancelo returned after missing the national team for ten months and contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in the game. After the game, Cancelo was interviewed by the media.

Cancelo said: "We performed well. Armenia is obviously a team that is inferior to us. We played high-pressure, high-quality football, covering every area of ​​the game. Although the venue was not ideal, it proved that we are one of the top teams in the world. Everything happened so naturally. We scored 5 goals, but we could have gained more."

For Diogo Jota, a national teammate who died in a car accident, Cancelo said: "I can't describe it in words... I heard the bad news in the United States, and was with Ruben Neves at the time. I don't want to talk too much about it. I dedicated the goal to him because Jota is always a part of our team, and everyone is shocked. Now we must cherish the moment. I want to say a few words to his parents, wife and children. Jota will always be with us."
