Speaking about Liverpool's start to the season and Klopp's future, Diogo Jota said that the start has been positive and is going well and wants to carry that momentum into the national team. For Klopp, he expressed his respect and blessings, believing that Klopp is a man he likes very much.
Responding to the tight schedule this season, Diogo Jota believes that international players will always play more matches and that's the price that has to be paid. He doesn't really want to talk about the political side of soccer and just wants to focus on doing his job for the club and the national team.
Diogo Jota is satisfied with his start to the season and wants to always be at his best. He emphasized that the beginning of every season is a new opportunity and hopes to keep it that way from the beginning to the end of the season.
Speaking about the team's attacking trident pairing, Diogo Jota said that scoring goals is the task, but winning games is more important. He would rather not score but win the game than score but end up losing.
For the next two games against Poland
and Scotland, Diogo Jota believes that these two matches could be decisive and revealed that the team is studying the main characteristics of the opponents, such as strong points like set pieces. He emphasized the importance of getting three points per game.
In terms of welcoming new players, Diogo Jota said everyone who comes to the national team feels welcome and will try to welcome everyone in the same way and make them feel at home. He believes that the new members have the opportunity to show their worth and character.
On the question of Amorim's suitability to coach in England, Diogo Jota said that he can't judge the coach, but likes Ruben a lot and thinks he has that ability. If Amorim leaves Sporting Portugal, he will wish him good luck.
Finally, Diogo Jota spoke about whether he would like to return to Portugal to win the league title. He stated that he would like to, but that it doesn't make much sense to talk about a return right now. He doesn't rule out the possibility of it happening in the future and emphasizes that it depends on his level and a combination of factors. At this stage, he would say that he would like to return in the future. For the match against Poland
The question of the best time to do so, he believes that the most important thing is to focus on themselves, because Portugal has the strength to beat the current Polish
and Poland in the past
