Trincão spoke in the mixed zone about Ronaldo's goal and the team's performance this week. He stated that it is a privilege to play alongside Ronaldo, and the team showed significant improvement in their 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan compared to their first match.
On Ronaldo's goal
We are all happy for him. It's an honor to play alongside Cristiano in this team. He is the best player, and we must cherish our time playing with him. Obviously, he will continue to score goals—I believe he can do it—and we will continue to help him as we did today.
This week was tough, how did the team cope?
We know that criticism is part of football, and we also know that World Cup matches are very difficult. But the most important thing is to stay united, which we are all clear about, and Cristiano has helped us a lot in this regard. Even in the face of criticism, we remain focused. The same applies to today—we played an excellent game, Cristiano performed very well, and we are happy about that. The team's attitude today was good. We know where we need to improve, and we have made significant progress compared to the first match. Today we scored more goals, had more shots, and created more chances. Playing this way makes it easier to win.
On Colombia
Our goal is always to win. We still have time to watch Colombia's matches and analyze them more thoroughly. For now, the priority is to recover, as everyone has played many games this season. We will gradually study Colombia afterward.
What did you think about during your World Cup debut?
I didn't think about anything in particular; I just focused on the game. I try not to overthink things to avoid putting pressure on myself.
Is the team more relaxed?
I think it's always the same. Whether we lose or draw, we can't be too frustrated; when we win, we can't be too excited. We need to maintain our equilibrium.
