The UEFA Nations League final will be played between Portugal and Spain. Before the game, Portuguese defender Ruben Dias, who played for Manchester City, was interviewed.

Your winning factor?

"I think it depends on which side is more eager to win. Both teams are excellent, but at this moment, I think the key is who wants to win more - and we really want to win this final."

You will face neighbouring Spain.

"No matter who the opponent is, I want to win the final. To reach the final, you have to be very good. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best opponent. For me, I don't think about anything other than winning the final. Of course, we will show respect for our opponents."

You will face attackers like Nico and Yamal

"They are the kind of players who have two threats at the same time. They can both control the ball and break through one-on-one, and use the space behind them. That's their characteristics. We are talking about top players, which is also the challenge we hope to face."

Your role in the team and your role in the final?

"I think that if I want to win a big game, the foundation of the team must be excellent defense and teamwork, which is an essential condition, and no team can succeed without the defensive focus and without this mentality.

"For the position I play, my play and participation in the game will ultimately affect everything that happens on the court. I like the feeling of being able to contribute to the team’s defense and protect our defense. ”
