Portugal’s Ruben Dias refuses to underestimate Armenia threat

Ruben Dias refused to look past Portugal’s upcoming match against Armenia as they begin their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Roberto Martinez’s side travel to Armenia for their first match in Group F, where they are also joined by Hungary and the Republic of Ireland.

Portugal start their qualification process for next summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico slightly later than others after they won the Nations League during the last international break.

Dias believes Portugal could face a difficult test against Armenia, who recently appointed Yeghishe Melikyan as their new head coach.

“The success we’ll have in this qualifying campaign is the fact that we’re taking it one game at a time,” said Dias.

“Right now, there’s qualifying to do, and nothing is guaranteed. Our focus is on tomorrow’s game, and it’s very present.
