European champions Portugal are still unable to relax about their place in the EURO 2020 quarterfinals. In the final F group match, the Portuguese face a tough test against world champions France. It is crucial for the European champions to avoid defeat in this match, and in order to think about higher positions in the group, a victory is necessary. Speaking to "talkSPORT," Jose Mourinho reviewed the performance of his compatriots and stated that the Portuguese can beat anyone.
"Playing their best football, the Portuguese can beat anyone. But it requires the contribution of all 11 players. For example, in the first two matches, Bruno Fernandes was on the field, but did not play. I hope he shines in the match against the French, as his potential is huge. Fernandes can make passes, score goals, win penalties, and convert penalty kicks. He is very important for the team, but so far he hasn't shown it. Portugal have three fantastic forwards - Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, and Diogo Jota. There needs to be a connection between them and the back line, but Bruno has not started playing yet," Mourinho said.
