On Sunday, the national team completed its last training before the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Lithuania 2021, against Spain, scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, at 3.30 pm, at the Arena stadium in Vilnius.
Looking forward to the match, coach Jorge Braz makes no secret that he expects a tough game, noting the key focus and commitment to being Portugal’s national team: “It will undoubtedly be a very competitive match, where we have to be very focused and committed to being ourselves so that the streak tends to fall more into the Our side The rigor, focus and commitment to the behaviors we must have in a highly competitive game Suppose it’s a final, that’s how we see… It’s the games that attract us all. That’s what we work for every day! Come into the game – there is still some work to be done To be done to prepare, but come to the match.”
It should be noted that in 29 meetings with our brothers, Cuenas won only twice, on September 27, 2005, 3-2, in a preparatory match in Spain, and on February 10, 2018, 3-2, in a European match, in Slovenia. Otherwise, there were four draws and 23 defeats. However, the idea that the difference between the two teams is more murky is shared by the coach.
Three aspects, three distinct ideas: the difference has vanished because we have come to another level, without a doubt; Spain is no longer weak – it remains for the national teams [mais organizada], if not the most organized in the world, obviously; The past doesn’t matter at all, the moment matters – there was already a moment when I mentioned it and we realized it. If we can balance and get closer, then what matters, from now on, are the toys that were made – toys 15 or 20 years ago are not so important at all”, Jorge Braz justifies.
