直播吧3月23日訊 北京時間3月24日03:45,歐國聯四分之一決賽次回合,葡萄牙將在主場對陣丹麥(首回合葡萄牙在客場0-1輸給了對手),葡萄牙主帥馬丁內斯在賽前接受了採訪。

About the second leg against Denmark

首先,我們在客場對陣丹麥時的表現令人失望,丹麥隊是一支強大、富有侵略性的球隊,他們習慣於高位逼搶,喜歡在中路堆積球員,這支丹麥隊曾擊敗過克羅埃西亞和法國。明天我們將在坐滿觀眾的主場比賽,主場球迷的支持對我們來說是一項巨大的優勢,另外(和客場與丹麥的比賽相比)我們需要大幅改進,在去年11月葡萄牙和克羅埃西亞比賽的上半場、以及和波蘭比賽的下半場表現出很高的水準,那就是我們的標準!那才是我們的國家隊應有的水準!在丹麥我們踢得不好,未能有效應對對手的侵略性,但現在打進歐國聯四強仍是我們的目標。

About the pressure you are facing right now

I've been coaching since 100 and a lot of things have changed, like my hair is falling out. I've played more than 0 international games and I want to help the players. Pressure? It's really big, but it's pressure from within, not from the outside, and I have the full support of the management of the Portuguese Football Federation.

On his assessment of his work since he took charge of the Portuguese team

We strive for perfection but football is not perfect, we have played very good games and we have had difficult moments. Portugal did flawless in European Championship qualifying [after I took charge] and we won all the games – a historic achievement that has never happened before. Our best game in the final was against France, but Portugal lost on penalties. Portugal then finished top of the UEFA Nations League group stage and still have a good chance to celebrate in front of the home fans to reach the semi-finals, we did not perform well away from Denmark, but the 27 games of the current Portugal team (since I have been in charge) should be judged as a whole.

Let's talk about tomorrow's second leg against Denmark

Tomorrow it's important to show our quality and be ourselves, away we didn't create enough chances, in possession we didn't show superiority up front, tomorrow we have a lot to adjust. It is worth mentioning that tomorrow will be a special day because B will probably make his 100th appearance for the Portuguese national team tomorrow, the experience of B is very important for us, he is a model of Portuguese footballer and he will help us a lot tomorrow. ”

The attitude of the game and the aggressiveness on the pitch are two different things, the former is the commitment of the players, you have to give it your all when you wear the national team shirt and our players have been very good in that regard. The other thing is that in the interval between last 3 and 0 this year, there was a lack of communication and a mistake of not being able to interpret the game very well, and in the away game against Denmark we were not able to cope with the pressure exerted by the opposing side, and the same happened in a friendly match against Slovenia last year, when we also lost the game.

On the selection of players in the centre forward position of the Portuguese team

We've got a very flexible team, Jota has played in that position, Gonzalo Ramos has played and no one says Ronaldo has to play every game, but we can't just say that Ronaldo is the best player when he scores and his age when he doesn't.
