Matheus Nunes spoke of the process that culminated in the decision to represent the Portuguese national team when he had the possibility of playing for Brazil on the table.
«I spoke with the two coaches and, after thinking a lot with my family and my godfather, I decided to play for the Portuguese national team. I will be happier here, my family also thinks the same. I took that decision and I’m happy», said the midfielder, born in Rio de Janeiro, who, in the meantime, acquired Portuguese nationality.
“It was the hardest decision I’ve made in my career so far. I arrived in Portugal at age 13, I feel Portuguese, I already have many habits of Portuguese culture. When I was called to the Brazil national team, I was proud, I had this dream. But being able to choose between one and another selection would never end up losing. I think I made the right decision, let’s see.”
