Midfielder chose the most beautiful goal in Portugal’s rout of Poland (5-1)
Bruno Fernandes speaking to RTP, after Portugal’s thrashing of Poland (5-1), in the game that qualified the Seleção for the quarter-finals of the Nations League:
What was the most beautiful goal tonight?
«All the goals were beautiful, but obviously a bicycle kick has a special flavor, it is more difficult. It takes very good athletic form to get up there, but we’re used to that with Cristiano.
A goalless first half, and five in the second, what changed?
«It was almost impossible to see, but we had some opportunities in the first half because we started to do what we did in the second. We started to circulate the ball better, looking for internal areas. In the first half, maybe it was the nervousness of wanting to score early. We make a lot of mistakes with the last passes, you end up losing the ball and losing confidence. In the second part, we hear the master’s words. We didn’t make any possession of twenty passes, but we were much more patient and, later, with the quality of our players, we ended up scoring the goals».
He will not travel to Croatia, he is suspended, he will meet Ruben Amorim sooner. What do you expect from the new Manchester United manager?
«There’s not much to talk about, now we’re in the national team, when I get there I already know I’m going to have to talk about it a lot. When I return to Manchester I will give many interviews talking about the manager and I will speak to the manager».
