The head coach of the Portugal national team, Roberto Martinez, commented on his team’s victory in the Nations League final against Spain.
Roberto Martinez"I am very proud. It is important not just to play, but to win in finals. After Spain scored their goals, we showed incredible character. We managed to add during the game and I think we deserved to win the Nations League.
Football is an energy-consuming game, and it is important to have more than just 11 players. Gradually, we proved that we have a clear understanding of how to create problems for the Spain national team. And we scored our two goals. The players who came on as substitutes helped us secure the victory.
The most important thing is the collective, the team. And the dedication to our work day in and day out. We have 16-17 equally skilled players. Skill combined with other merits helps to win trophies. The captain of the team is very important to us. Spain took the lead twice, but the experience and strength of the captain helped us show that we are still ready to win,” quotes Martinez from the official UEFA website.
