“We had an excellent first half, we did very well and we controlled the game. They had a dangerous opportunity, a ball on the post, but otherwise I think we created 3-4-5 clear situations and we could have close the game already in the first half, which was very good. The second half they played with more heart, they scored and it could have gone one way or the other.” Word of Joao FelixPortuguese striker who scored yesterday in the match against Croatia, in favor of a Portugal upset in terms of training due to the many absences.
In yesterday’s mixed zone at the Stadion Poljud after the 1-1 draw, he then continued in the tell his story. On the other hand, at Chelsea he returned from four consecutive spells, with only 553 minutes played in all competitions. But with the national team he found himself again: “I felt good – he said to RTP -. I always try to do my best to help the team, sometimes things don’t go as you would like, it’s football and there are days like that. But I always try to do my best. Even though there aren’t the most experienced people, they all play in big European clubs and those who were here did a great job.”
Portugal’s goal scorer then finished with one revelation about his stay at Chelseagiven the complicated season due to the little space found: “I don’t know. I don’t predict the future. I always try to do my best, I work for this, I’m a professional and I can be at the best level. Whether it’s this season or in the years to come, I don’t know. One day it will be like this.”
Finally, a comment on Portugal’s objectives in this Nations League: “Dreaming doesn’t hurt, on the contrary, it is useful to idealize the goal. But now there are the quarter-finals and we will do everything we can to get to the final and win the competition again.”
