Display of Gonçalo Ramos: “Make the same space as the others, all the same. When he thinks he plays, he plays, and when he thinks he doesn’t play, he doesn’t play, like the others.”.

 

Display: “Look, we didn’t win Azerbaijan or Luxembourg. We won... Maybe in the top five in Europe, this team is there, I have to be satisfied. If this team has more room to grow, of course. I am experimenting with real games and, game after game, I have more and more ideas to make decisions”.

Differences for the game with Wales: “We have again been organized defensively and have been more creatively, also with the entrance of players. We were always a very serene team on the field. We can do better defensively on the ball. Offensively, in the game, we have no ideas, there is not yet a collective work, it is normal, I haven’t had time for it”.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not leave the bank: “He didn’t come in, I was thinking of putting him in the game for half an hour, but the game was dictating other things and I didn’t think it was time to put him in. There are still two more games, it wasn't to protect him physically, because he was in a position to play as long as I wanted, but I didn't think it was the right time for him to come in, I needed a player with other features, but that doesn't mean he's out of options, on the contrary. In Denmark, perhaps he will play.”.
