Despite the criticisms of national coach Roberto Martínez, Portugal is confident about the semi-finals against Germany. « We know it’s always difficult. But we have the right to achieve great things, » said the double -goal scorer, for the final tournament of the League of Nations.

After the hard fighter 5: 2 After an additional time against Denmark, the Portuguese will meet the German national team in Munich on June 4. France and Spain are played against each other in the second semi-finals.

Even after the success against the Danes, the Spaniard Martínez had to ask critical questions about his line –up and the often less attractive way to play his team. « I am no longer a young coach, I have experience. I’m calm. If the team loses, it’s my fault. If you win, it’s the players, » said the 51 -year -old man. The Portuguese had lost the first step in Denmark 0: 1.

Gonçalo Ramos (115th minute), trincist (86./91.), Cristiano Ronaldo (72nd) and Denmark Joachim Andersen by his own goal (38.) scored the goals for the hosts. Eintracht scored Danish goals Rasmus Kristensen (56.) and Christian Eriksen (76.). After the regular season, it was 3: 2 (1-0) for Portugal.

The Seleção is as an adversary for the DFB team. The last five duels of a total of 19 meetings could all be won. The last defeat dated June 20, 2000, when Germany under Erich Ribbeck embarrassed against a Portuguese B-ELF and therefore said goodbye to the European Championship.

« If you lie down 0: 3 and you are still 20 minutes to play, these are difficult minutes. You want to crawl and hope that it will go quickly, » recalls the former international Marco Bode in the summer of 2024 as part of an EM series on the transfer market. The 55 -year -old man always knew « that we were properly rounded in the tabloids the next day and that we were shown as bottles. If you leave the group, you have to endure this ridiculous. »
