“We had a first half that was not fully realized, but with a very organized team reacting to defeat. At half-time I told the players to be patient, but not too much… The game was so blocked that if we had had patience, we would not have scored. They noticed, they tried to change the style of the game in attack, and that’s how it turned out to be a penalty. Then no one can concede goals out of nowhere,” he said.
The coach downplayed the draw between Uruguay and South Korea, another game in Group H. “Three points matter. There is no other game to play. With another victory, we can move on,” he stressed.
Portugal can guarantee a place in the 1/8 finals in case of a victory over Uruguay (regardless of Ghana-South Korea).
