“A very important game for the Euro final list”: Roberto Martinez raises the bar for the meeting with Slovenia

This is another preparatory match for the final stage of the European Championship, which features players who did not take part in last Thursday’s 5-2 defeat to Sweden. Martinez emphasized Ronaldo’s role. “It’s an important game to see Cristiano on the pitch. There are other young players who may also have experience working with him in the dressing room. Over the last three days, Cristiano has shown freshness, great hunger and is always an example in the dressing room.”

The coach spoke after his opponent on Tuesday. “We are facing a team with a couple of strikers, dynamic players who explore the back line. It will be important for us to work on other aspects. We will have to take advantage of this opportunity. We have a lot of respect for Slovenia, they are a team that qualified for the European Championships, the coach has done a very good job.” Martinez also admits that he debuted with a lot of players (Francisco Conceicao and Dani Mota).

“Obviously we want to win the European Championship, like any team. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this. We have a great team. We, along with two or three other teams, are candidates. We accept this. But we will think game by game and now we want to think about the game against Slovenia,” midfielder Vitinha said on Monday, praising Cristiano Ronaldo: “It’s still very important.”
