1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11th News Portugal coach Roberto Martinez was interviewed by Cobe Radio and talked about leading the team to win the UEFA League championship, Ronaldo, Yamal, and the Golden Globe Awards.
Talk the championship celebration
“We were welcomed very warmly, but the formal celebration will be scheduled in September. The celebration will be held in Lisbon, where everything we know.”
Talk on coaching the national team
“This is a highly-watched position, and criticism is essential, and it is part of our work, and from our performance in the European Cup, we know very well what we need.”
Talking about Ronaldo
“I think we need to understand different stages of a football player’s career, a player who once lived on people and the last hit, and now he is a history-writing player, he is the greatest player in Portugal’s history, he seizes opportunities to improve himself every day, and this affects the people around him, and no one can set records like him. We have successfully made the locker room very competitive, and when you have a player like Ronaldo, every day is a football class. In the national team, we need to be clear in directions, and most importantly we have the best players in the country, then all we need to do is analyze and try to improve. In the face of Ronaldo, we have to be honest in our behavior, not yelling at a player, and what is important is the values we have established, creating an environment where players feel free and dare to take risks.”
Talk Yamal
“I don’t know how you treat him, he is the best in his position and has been very stable. No talented player can play like him in his position, we have to help him.”
Talk was criticized for celebrating Portugal’s goal
“When you are a coach, there is a lot of work behind every goal, and it will be strange not to celebrate. I am 100% Spaniard, 100% Catalan, and 100% local in the UK and Belgium.”
Talk the World Cup
“We will continue to prepare for this event for 12 months, and it is also a rare opportunity to visit the stadium in the United States, and I will work with FIFA through our work withWatch all the competitions on one platform. ”
Talking about favorites in the championship
“My experience tells me that there is no answer. I have experienced two World Cups in Russia and Qatar. What you learned is that the championship is gradually made by yourself. If you ask me this question after three games in the group stage, I will give you an answer. ”
Talking about the Golden Globes
“Vitinia and Mendes are far ahead of other players, both at the club level and individual level. In my opinion, Nuno Mendes is the best left-back I have ever met. He plays both the outside and the inside, is very fast and passes very well. I used to think that perfect players didn’t exist, but Nuno was very close to that standard. ”
Talk about Ronaldo’s potential farewell
“The farewell of legendary players is often based on football itself. When a player realizes that he can no longer contribute to the team as he used to, he will choose to leave. Smart players tend to have a longer career, and as far as Ronaldo is concerned, the opponent will clearly feel his presence when we see him on the court. We will evaluate all players after each game. We value the talent, experience and commitment of the players. You must perform well in all three aspects, and Ronaldo is a model in these three aspects. ”
