A BOLA – «We have to be a very serious Portugal, very focused, very fresh and very available» (Women’s Football)
Tomorrow, the women’s National Team faces Bulgaria in the 4th round of Group H, with a view to qualifying for the World Cup Australia and New Zealand-2023, occupying second place, with seven points, behind Germany, with nine points from three games.
The coach Francisco Neto, in a press conference before the game, says he believes that Portugal can win the three points, despite pointing out some conditions: «The context will not be easy, after a very demanding game with Serbia, with some fatigue accumulated and a trip in between. We have to be a very serious Portugal, very focused, very fresh and very willing to bring the three points home, which is what we want. »
Urged to point out the strengths of the Bulgarian national team, the coach did not hesitate: «It is a very compact group of players, with lower lines, which will remove some addition to our game and which will take away space, because they are very aggressive at the moment of press a ball. It will be a game in which, if we are not fresh and we don’t have good ball circulation skills, we may not be able to retire from the pressure zone and complicate our game further. »
The meeting between Bulgaria and Portugal is scheduled for 2 pm tomorrow, Tuesday, at the Lokomotiv Plovdiv Stadium, in Bulgaria.
