"I'm not stupid"

Pode-se pensar que agora o novo selecionador vai chegar e vai mudar muitos jogadores. Não vai ser. Eu não sou burro.

TranslationPeople might think that now the new manager is going to come in and change lots of players. That's not going to happen. I'm not stupid.

Ten days after signing, Jesus goes on Canal 11 to warn that there will be no revolution in September: “two or three” new players compared with the 26 at the World Cup, and little more. Along the way he also calls the Nations League “the hardest competition”, because “you’ll always be up against the best teams in Europe”. The line that went round social media and the story of the night are exactly the same thing.
