Held in check this Tuesday evening on the pitch of Scotland (0-0)Portugal was unable to take advantage of the draw between Poland and Croatia (3-3) to validate its qualification for the quarter-finals of the League of Nations After the match, João Palhinha, who started, presented in the mixed zone to share his opinion on the Portuguese performance. And the Bayern Munich midfielder took the opportunity, like Cristiano Ronaldo before him, to attack the refereeing which he considers to have been to the disadvantage of the Seleção.
« If I give my honest opinion… I prefer not to say too much, it’s better to stay silent. For those who understand, no need to be completely explicit. However, it is not because of this that we did not win the match. We must remember that we are still leaders and I hope that we will continue this good momentum. “, he first explained, before concluding: “ We deserved better, even if it is always difficult to play in Scotland. Our domination was obvious, we deserved better than a draw. But I want to highlight all the work that we have accomplished so far. We remain in the lead and we hope to validate our qualification during the next two matches, which will also be difficult. »
