Paris midfielder Joao Neves attended the Portugal national team press conference and talked about the World Cup qualifying rounds, the Ballon d'Or, the different requirements of the club and the national team, etc.

You have played 18 times for the national team but have yet to score a goal. In Paris this season, you have scored 5 goals. Will you score in this national team match?

"I have always said that individual goals or assists are never the most important. I am more concerned about whether the team can win or advance. If I can win and advance, I will be very happy. It doesn't matter whether I score or not. Of course, I also hope to score my first goal for the national team, let's wait and see."

Talking about the World Cup qualifying match against Ireland

"We always pursue victory. If we can qualify for the World Cup against Ireland, of course it would be the best. But if we fail to do so, we also know that we will face a strong opponent who will test us."

Have you paid attention to the recent performance of your home team Benfica? Are you happy about Mourinho's arrival? Have you considered the Ballon d'Or?

"Of course I will be very happy if I can win the Ballon d'Or... But this is not a clear goal in my career, nor is it my football philosophy. I focus more on collective honor, whether it is the national team or the club. As for Benfica, of course I will continue to follow them, not only the first team, but also the youth team. I am very happy to see the players in the team. There are many talented players, and although the first team has not been in good shape recently, we have a lineup that is capable of competing for the championship."

On the previous absence due to injury

"It is very difficult, I like to contribute to the team, and being absent due to injury makes me sad because I can't contribute to the team as I hoped. I miss the feeling of playing on the court even more, and I am eager to return to the court. Now I am back with freshness, desire and determination, and I will try my best to help the team."

On how to balance the club and the national team

"It is always complicated for us, we have a long time to prepare for the World Cup and the European Cup. Continental Cup, but we have very little time together, but it is good to prepare for the game together, and it is also good to return to home games, leave the cold Paris, come here to enjoy the good weather, and see old teammates and other people I like. I am very happy to play for the national team. "

What is the difference between Roberto Martinez and Enrique's requirements for you?

"They are coaches with different styles and have different understandings of the game, but they all like to control the ball and attack actively. I always do what the coach asks, which is also my responsibility. Whether in the midfield, on the wing or on the bench, I will always be ready to help the team and do my best."

A few years ago, B Fei once said that you are a special kid. Why are you so popular with your seniors? Which aspect of your game do you think you have improved the most?

"I don't know how to answer this question... Whether in football or in life, I try to stay true to myself. Indeed, I have always been loved by many seniors. They always accept me very kindly and give me support. I am very grateful for this. Bruno (B Fee) is a very important person for me. He helps me integrate into the team and let me not be nervous. Speaking of my changes in football, I feel that I have improved in terms of entering the penalty area and scoring. It can be seen from the number of goals. But I know that I still have a lot to improve. I think what I lacked in the past is the ability to score and assist in the penalty area, but this is not what I pay special attention to, as long as the team can win. "Whether we will play together? It depends on the coach and I will do our best for the national team. The coach's decision always puts the interests of the team first."
