Roberto Martínez, this Saturday, previewed the match against Portugal, in Seville, for the round of 16 of the European Championship. The Belgian selector says that the team is fully prepared for the confrontation in the Spanish city.
«It will be a very demanding game in terms of focus and concentration. Portugal is working very well defensively and has quality in attack. If we disconnect from the game it will be impossible to win. I expect a very difficult game, against a team that has the capacity to suffer without the ball and bet on the counterattack. They don’t need much to do damage,” said Roberto Martínez, who revealed that he would not trade Kevin De Bruyne for Cristiano Ronaldo.
“No, I wouldn’t accept that exchange. I have a lot of affection for Kevin, we’ve been together for five years and he’s the best playmaker in the world. He’s a brain on the field and I’ve never seen a player like him.”
