Head coach of Fenerbahçe Jose Mourinho said that the Portuguese national team is among the contenders for victory at the European Championship and noted that the contribution of striker Cristiano Ronaldo will be very great, however, even without this player the national team will be able to obtain results during the tournament.
In the group stage of Euro 2024, the Portuguese will meet the teams of the Czech Republic, Turia and Georgia.
– The reality is that there are three or four teams which are the strongest: Portugal, England, France, basically Spain, Germany… I don’t believe in Italy, because it’s not a very talented generation. They don’t have enough talent to win.
I’m not talking about favoritism, but Portugal is a very, very strong team. I think if Portugal had two teams, the second would also be in the running.
The coach knows Cristiano, what he feels, what his goals are, how he wants to use him. It’s their internal matter. Of course you, the media, and we, the fans, want to know everything that’s going on inside, but a lot of what happens has to stay in between. He and his goals carry a lot of weight,” Mourinho quotes A Bola .
The European Championship will take place in 10 cities in Germany from June 14 to July 14.
