Danilo Pereira took a look at Portugal’s match in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the importance of Roberto Martinez and his role with the team’s young players.
In an interview with Portuguese journalist Pedro Pinto, as part of the podcast 1 Para 1Danilo Pereira was asked about the secret of the Portuguese team’s success in achieving this convincing qualifying stage (10 victories in 10 matches). Sometimes a defender, sometimes a midfielder, the Paris Saint-Germain player emphasized the unity of the group.
” I think communication between the coaching staff and the players has a lot to do with it. It was an enjoyable experience, including many meetings and the exchange of ideas. It helped us understand what is expected of us, not just with the coach, but with everyone. Roberto Martinez clearly showed us what his thoughts are. Together we are one. We have a strong identity, a team that wants to attack a lot and not concede. We can say it’s easy, but the participation we made in every match was very important and shows our work. »
The former Portista also expressed his opinion about Portugal coach Roberto Martinez, whom he says is very demanding and involved in training and ensures the participation of everyone without exception. Finally, Danilo also returned to his role in the current team:
” I see myself in this group as someone who brings experience. It’s a young squad that needs that, and I think I can offer something to these youngsters. There comes a time in our careers when we think about the team more than ourselves. I am happy with the confidence of the coach and my role. »
