Gonçalo Inácio

Written by Nuno Travassos, Catarina Pereira and Luís Mateus for A Bola:

Was called up to the national team by Fernando Santos before the 2022 World Cup but was not included in squad for the tournament and only made his debut for Portugal in the qualifying campaign for this European Championship. “Goncalo Inacio is the most searched profile in European football,” said the current coach, Roberto Martínez. “Central, left foot, can play inside, with quality, scores goals, has intelligence." Off the field Inácio is very reserved, and in interviews his discomfort is noticeable. He's not a big fan of social media and when he's not training he spends hours on the PlayStation. “I go to train, I come home and I can stay playing until I go to sleep. It's an escape. I'm not a social media person, if it were possible I wouldn't even have Instagram, I don't like public exposure or showing off in photographs,” he says.
