Analysis: “A very difficult field, a team with great quality, players of great quality and high intensity as well. They were pushing too hard, but we were fine. As they were playing at home, there were times when they controlled a little more. But we were resilient, we made the 1-3 which was a breath of fresh air, but it was cancelled. It was a great collective exhibition.”

 

Strategy of Jorge Jesus: “The higher we push, the higher we get the ball. At the end of the first part they created superiority, but in the second part we reacted well, we pressed in, changed something or two and made a great game.”

Second goal right after a tie: “It’s the best way to react to a suffered goal. The team once again managed to be in the game, managed to defend well. We were very solid defensively. In some moments with ball we could have controlled the game more, but it is not easy to come here to do this.”

Game with Denmark: “ Now we go to the third and God willing for the fourth. Now is to start working on the next game and continue on the same path because we are in good shape.”
