Fernando Santos admitted that the debut game in the World Cup, against Ghana, was not easy, but stressed that he is only interested in three points to move forward.
“We improved a lot from minute 30/35, in the final minutes we created three or four very dangerous situations, but it wasn’t easy. In the last ten minutes of the first half, the team completed the different components of the game, that is, in offensive terms, they also created situations that they had not created up to that moment. They entered the game to try to change the type of plays, that’s what happened. Even the penalty came that way, ”explained Fernando Santos
However, the coach stressed that the team cannot continue conceding goals “out of the blue”.
“Nobody can concede goals like that,” added the national coach.
The Portuguese team debuted with a 3-2 win over Ghana, on the first day of Group H, at Estádio 974, in Doha.
Cristiano Ronaldo, in minute 65, from the penalty spot, João Félix, in minute 78, and Rafael Leão, in minute 80, scored the team’s goals, while André Ayew, in minute 73, and Osman Bukari , in the 89th minute, scored for the Africans.
In the first group game, South Korea, led by Portuguese coach Paulo Bento, and Uruguay drew 0-0, meaning Portugal, which faces the South Americans on Monday, already leads the group alone, with three points. .
