As the UEFA Europa League Quarter-Finals are about to kick off, Swiss striker Doua was interviewed before the match, expressing his thoughts on the England team he will be facing and sharing his feelings about his first ever appearance at a World Championship.
For the upcoming opponent England, Doua gave high praise. He said that England has a lot of big stars and each player has excellent individual ability, which makes them a very good team. Duarte said that in the match, the Swiss team must pay attention to every player in the England team, because their threat is everywhere. Nonetheless, Doua also expressed his confidence in the Swiss team, saying that the team will give their best to get a good result in the tournament.
Talking about his first experience of playing in a world tournament, Dua said everything was new. He mentioned that it was a rare learning opportunity for him to have the chance to compete against a strong soccer nation. During the preparation process, he carefully watched many matches and scrutinized the performance of players in the same position, hoping to learn from the experience and improve his own level. Doua also expressed his pride in playing for his country, saying that the role he plays in the national team is completely different from that of his club, but he is happy to be involved and willing to contribute to the team's success.
Finally, Dua also spoke about the role of the substitute players in the team. He believes that substitutes must be motivated at all times to ensure that the team maintains a good mental state and a high level of training within the team. The substitutes are there not only to replace the starters in games, but also to compete with the starters in training and push each other forward. This team spirit is the key to the team's success.
