Portugal HubThe Portugal national team has a new symbol in Vitinha. With Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy as a shadow, the team has a new leader in Vitinha.
Who is Vitinha?
Vitinha grew up in a football environment. His father, Vitor Manuel, played for CD Aves and left his mark on the youth categories.
Path to the top
The path to the top began at Porto, where he debuted in the academy as a teenager and was part of the national championship-winning squad in 2020. His stint at Wolverhampton was brief, but his return to the Portuguese club earned him important numbers: four goals and four assists in a victorious season.
At the World Cup, the pressure grows
Now, in Group K with Colombia, Uzbekistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Portugal is seen as one of the favorites. Vitinha, however, prefers not to talk about expectations: "The focus is on the game by game".
