Roberto Martinez did not want to clarify whether Portugal would enter the field against the Czechs with two or three central defenders, but he revealed that Diogo Costa would be in goal.
“Not yet. They just have to wait 24 hours. The important thing is to be clear about what we want to do. I haven't spoken to the players yet, we have another training session today. I can only say that Diogo Costa will be in goal. I spoke with The three goalkeepers, they are working very well, but the goalkeepers need a different preparation before the match. “It is important for Diogo Costa to know,” the Leipzig national coach said in the press conference before the match against the Czechs, in the opening round of Group F at Euro 2024. He is in the starting lineup.”
Martinez also confirmed that he has the entire squad available.
“The preparation period was very good, and it went well because the goal was clear. We had tactical goals, goals to prepare the concepts we need to show tomorrow and in other matches. Then individually. Individually it was a very good period. All 23 field players are ready, they have all played minutes, and they all have different strengths. These players who we had some doubts about physically are performing quite well. All three goalkeepers have already shown that the team can win games with them in goal. He pointed out that the preparation period was very good.
