Vanessa Marques. “It is important that Portugal does not despise Israel”
Midfielder Vanessa Marques is returning to the national team, after nine months of absence.
The Sp. Braga player assumes “tremendous happiness” for being back and admits to having found “the same familiar environment”.
“It’s so good to come back to this elite space. They welcomed me with open arms, as they always do. We’re like a family and I’m always very cherished, by colleagues, the technical team and the entire staff. It’s as if I’ve never been in a state. out of the Selection “, referred Vanessa Marques.
The 25-year-old has recovered from an injury and now says she feels good and is ready to “help like my teammates in the national team”.
The team from the corners will now have a double journey: Israel and Germany, qualifying matches for the World Cup.
“Our focus right now has to be Israel. Thinking about Germany before overtaking Israel would be a mistake,” he warned.
For Vanessa Marques, “it’s important that Portugal doesn’t belittle an opponent who sold a loss against Germany.”
On Thursday, from 6 pm onwards, there is only one recipe: “It is to go all out and face the opponent with maximum respect and commitment. Israel has its weapons and we cannot and do not want to facilitate. Simple as that.”
