Portugal coach Fernando Santos: "If we do not win Ukraine, I will be very disappointed"
Portugal head coach Fernando Santos took part in a press conference on the eve of his team's match with Ukraine in the selection for UEFA EURO 2020.
"Just look at the FIFA rankings - and you will understand which rivals, Serbia and Ukraine, we got in the group," Santos was quoted as saying by fpf.pt. - However, we should not forget about the Lithuanians and Luxembourg, because it is in such fights that trouble sometimes happens.
I believe in the quality of my players. Both tomorrow in the match against Ukraine and on Monday against Serbia, we will strive for victory and support of the fans. My players will try to bring joy to our country.
If we do not defeat Ukraine, I will be very disappointed. We are favorites, we play at home. There are no problems with this. But, on the other hand, there is a team that also wants to qualify for the European Championship. "
