José Mourinho assumes that he is worried about Portugal’s situation in Euro-2020, foreseeing great difficulties for this Wednesday’s game against France.
“For me, France are still favorites to win the European. A bad result against Hungary in a full stadium in Budapest didn’t change that. But I’m worried about Portugal. We can win or draw tomorrow, but France have more power and yes, I’m worried. If Portugal lose and finish with just three points, we have to take the calculators out”, said the coach, in an opinion article published in the British newspaper The Sun.
José Mourinho also addressed last Saturday’s game against Germany: “In Portugal, everyone blames Nélson Semedo for Portugal losing to Germany, because the goals came from his side, but the situation would have been the same whoever was the full-back. right. It was not Semedo’s fault, but the situation in which he was placed.”
Talking about other teams, besides England, of course, the Portuguese coach pointed out: «Germany impressed me against Portugal and they didn’t play badly against France. It may surprise you because you had a very poor qualifying, although at a high level they are not really a surprise. Italy are confident and happy, they are a team to respect and fear, and Belgium are very solid. Spain is in a difficult situation. Two home games, two points. They couldn’t beat Sweden and Poland, they controlled the games but it wasn’t easy to score. They will face Slovakia next and I believe they will qualify with five points.”
