At the press conference ahead of the match against Luxembourg, this Tuesday, Fernando Santos was naturally asked about the mood of the group after the hot final game in Serbia, with the goal that was not validated for Cristiano Ronaldo.
How is the team, will players use this to their advantage?
«It was evident that it was a moment of great frustration, that was evident. None of us will have seen the final part of the game. I didn’t see anything, just arguing with the fourth referee – really arguing – that it had been a goal, it had been a goal, it had been a goal. Bernardo has a golden opportunity to score a goal soon after. A team that arrives in Serbia against a strong opponent, imposes its law, is winning 2-0, then a little abnormally suffers a goal at the beginning of the second half … It was a moment of blurring that marked the game. We rocked our structure and Serbia grew. Then you can score, at 94, a clear, clean goal, which is not valid … and the three points are … I don’t want to say the word, but they are – obviously we were frustrated. In those immediate moments, nothing else is said. Then these players know what they have to do, they have to forget this. The referee, in a dignified gesture – this is the second time it has happened to me, but it will not solve the problem – came to say publicly what he had said to me in a particular way [pedir desculpa] , which had been a tremendous mistake. But it’s over, we’re here to win our games. »
