Meet Francisco Trincao: The Portuguese Sensation Joining Barcelona This Summer

B/R

Sitting on the pitch, arms on his knees, almost in tears, Erling Haaland looked devastated. Having hit the woodwork three times, he found it hard to accept the result as he watched the Portuguese players celebrating their 3-1 win over Norway in their opening game of 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

Francisco Trincao, on the other hand, was all smiles as he entered the dressing room after scoring twice in Vaasa, Finland. The Braga winger couldn't wait to check his mobile phone.

When he finally got his hands on it, he saw a message from one of his earliest mentors, Joao Aroso.
