Today, Tuesday, Vitor Oliveira, a spokesman for the under-21 team, was at a press conference, stressing that the goal is to achieve three victories at the end of the qualifying stage for the European Nations Cup 2023 and ensure leadership of Group D.

“There are three games we will work hard to win. The goal is always that and we have three games to win three. I am a very aggressive striker and I have different characteristics. I can be completely different, I have very different qualities, but if I don’t do my best in training or in the games , I will end up having no choice,” he emphasized.

With competition from Benfica fans, Goncalo Ramos, Henrique Araujo and Fabio Silva (Wolverhampton), Fior Oliveira of Braga makes no secret that he wants to be a regular: “Every one of us will try our best in training to conquer space. Then it is up to the master to decide who to play. It ends up being a healthy contest.”

The group led by Rui Jorge, which is currently in its second day of focus, still does not include Joao Mario, Eduardo Quaresma, Thiago Diallo, Nuno Tavares, Thiago Dantas, Fabio Vieira, Fabio Carvalho, Francisco Conceicao, David da Costa and Fabio Silva, who were subsequently allowed to perform due to the obligations of their clubs.

Remember that Portugal will face Belarus (June 4), Liechtenstein (7) and Greece (11). Portugal leads Group D with 19 points, followed by Greece with 17 points, Iceland and Belarus with nine, Cyprus with eight points, and Liechtenstein without points.

The first seed in each group qualifies directly for the European Championship, while the runner-up plays in a play-off.
