Dalot: no team wins the World Cup without difficulties

Portugal full-back Diogo Dalot admitted his side were far from their best after facing Congo DR in their World Cup opener. "I don't remember any national team winning the World Cup without going through difficulties," Dalot said, as the Portuguese camp tried to reset expectations following the draw (1). For Congo DR, holding a star-studded Portugal side on this stage is a statement, your team's first World Cup appearance in decades already delivering a result no one outside the squad predicted. The performance shifts the group's complexion ahead of the Colombia match.
