Lisbon (Portugal), March 17 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Beto, the 23-year-old Portuguese-Guinean striker who plays for Portimonense, is now compared with Haaland in the Portuguese League. In an interview with Agencia Efe, Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal, "Beto" remembers that in the club of his neighbourhood, the Tires (Lisbon), the technicians made him train with tennis balls to improve his scoring ability. SOUNDBITES OF BETO, PORTIMONENSE PLAYER:"It was fun, it was trying to resolve in the air, trying to kick it, because they thought that if I managed to kick the tennis ball, the soccer ball would be much easier." "Haaland is much better, I think we have a similar playing style, he is also a player who can do everything on the pitch." "Since I arrived in Portimao, at Portimonense, I have been treated very well by all the people, coaches, managers, teammates. It was a difficult evolution because when I arrived from Montijo it was a completely different reality." "Many people from other countries think that it is easy to play in the Portuguese League, but it is not, it is a very tactical league, very focused on tactics, the teams defend and attack well. You don't have many spaces, it depends on the teams. Therefore it depends on the quality of the players. I think it's a strong league."
