After 8-0 against Georgia to close the group stage, 5-1 against Slovakia to send a message: The National Team wants to recover the European crown, its eighth. Ahead, a greater obstacle awaits, a Portugal that is the current champion. Both the national coach, Fede Vidal, as Mellado, author of a double, and Carlos Ortiz, captain, agree that the duel against the Portuguese will be decided by details. The three attended the microphones of Telesport after the match.
Fede Vidal: “It will be another battle, as it has always been”
Victory against Slovakia: “It has been very complicated, because the approach, or the change of approach, already in the first half, after 2-0, attacking for a long time from five to four at the end always destabilizes you a little what your initial approach to the game is and we have to change things. Logically, we have to defend them. Luckily, I think that was the case for most of the game. They generated few chances in those game situations and we only conceded one goal at the end. That has allowed us to have a lot of control, a lot of possession to wear down and the game has been opting for where we wanted and responding in the most complicated moments”.
Team moment: “Obviously, he’s at the optimum point. We’re playing very good games and the team is very satisfied. The only thing is that now there are very complicated games, the semifinals against Portugal, it’s going to be another battle like it’s always been. It’s going to be very equalized and it will be decided by details”.
Portugal: “It is going to be decided by details. They are two great teams that have many different game options. To say which is the definitive one is practically impossible. In that sense, what I believe is that at a competitive level and facing the goal, whoever has The greatest success is the one who is going to take it”.
