Directly at the press conference to answer journalists’ questions, the technical commissioner of Portugal, Roberto Martineztold us what pitfalls it hides Türkiye by Vincenzo Montella in view of tomorrow’s delicate match valid for the second round of group F of the Europeans. A victory would mean a substantial share of the round of 16: “There are no easy games, but it will be different (compared to the debut match, ed.). I don’t think the Czech Republic tried to play as they know how, but this happens. What we have seen is that the teams are very competitive, there is a level of verticality and they all want to compete and have solutions for 90 minutes.”
Focusing in particular on potential of the national team of the Ottomansthe 50-year-old Spanish coach said: “Turkey have a lot of talent, but also a good defensive structure, the result of the work of an Italian coach. They are very balanced. Every match is different. The Czech Republic had a shot on target and he scored a goal, which is difficult. We reacted very well – recognized Martinez – and now we are ready for another match, which we think will be very different there are easy matches in a European Championship.”
Finally a mention of best profiles which Montella can boast and which could worry Portugal: “Turkey is an incredible mix of young talents. We have seen what players like Arda Güler do. They have the experience of players like Çalhanoglu. I think this mix brings a lot of quality on the ball , and the coach also gave them a very good and strong defensive structure.”
