On July 1st, Portugal’s head coach Martínez spoke about the upcoming Round of 16 match, stating that Slovakia’s impressive performance will make the team even more cautious of the upcoming match against Slovenia.
Martínez paid attention to the England and Slovakia match: “This shows the overall level and competitive difficulty of the European Championship. Even Germany did not have an easy time against Denmark. I watched England’s match against Slovakia, and they showed very good organization, a tenacious style of play, a strong desire to win, and a belief that they could eliminate England. In football, any small detail can decide the outcome. Next, we need to be more cautious of the Slovenian team.”
In the match between England and Slovakia, England only managed to equalize through Bellingham’s bicycle kick near the end of the game, and Kane scored the winning goal in extra time to advance 2-1. Slovakia’s impressive performance left a deep impression on Portugal’s head coach Martínez. In the European Championship, no opponent can be underestimated.
