Fernandes Says Portugal Must Continue to Grow

Portuguese national team midfielder Bruno Fernandes emphasized the need for the team to continue learning from its mistakes following their emphatic 9-1 victory over Armenia. "We need to improve our game not only after defeats but also after victories.

We have more opportunities for development in ball control compared to defensive play. When we lose the ball in the final third of the field, we must respond more quickly to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

These factors were exactly what caused us issues in the matches against Ireland and Hungary. We need to work on improving these aspects," Bruno said after the match.

The Portuguese national team secured the top position in their group and qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
