“Portugal have never been the favorite. It’s normal, they never won a major title with their senior team, so obviously they’re not a favorite. But in football there are always surprises and anything can happen. So I’m hopeful that this time Portugal can come up with a brilliant performance. We have a good team, with 20 good new players and a very good coach,” he said.
“We have all the ingredients to win an important competition. There’s always the luck factor, especially in these short competitions. That’s always important when it comes to the groups, the teams that you have to play against. But I’m hopeful and I think that Portugal have a good chance. We have a good team and good players who are ready and motivated.”
