Roberto Martinez spoke about his ambitions with the Portugal national team and the limits of talent to win the tournament.
In a long interview with the Portuguese newspaper O JogoRoberto Martinez was specifically asked about his ambitions with the Seleção: “ We have to give everything for this shirt. It would be easy to say that Portugal are not favorites to win the tournament. I think our qualifying stage for Euro 2024 (10 wins in 10 matches) gave us credit for the other selections, but we must show humility to do better. »
“It is important for us to remember that talent alone is not enough to win a competition. In modern football, talent is the first step to achieving this, and then there are others who try to reach the final victory. Winning is a result. Knowing how to deal with adversity, knowing how to show Flexibility is a value that must be constantly renewed. We prepare players to face any situation, not to win. »The Spanish technician, who will lead the Portugal national team in a major competition for the first time during Euro 2024, continued.
