On July 1st, Portugal head coach Martínez spoke about the upcoming Round of 16, stating that Slovakia’s impressive performance will make the team extra cautious against Slovenia.
Martínez paid attention to England’s match against Slovakia: “This shows the overall level and competitive difficulty of the European Championship. Germany did not have an easy time against Denmark before. I watched the England and Slovakia match, they are very well organized on the field, play with tenacity, have a strong desire to win, and firmly believe that they can eliminate England. In football, any small detail can determine victory or defeat. Next, we need to be more cautious against Slovenia.”
In the match between England and Slovakia, England only equalized in the final moments of the game through Bellingham’s overhead kick, and Kane scored the winning goal in extra time, resulting in a 2-1 victory. Slovakia’s impressive performance has left a deep impression on Portugal head coach Martínez. In the European Championship, no opponent can be underestimated.
