Morocco-Portugal: The match against the Atlas Lions will be challenging (Fernando Santos)

After the impressive victory of Portugal against Switzerland (6-1), Tuesday, the Portuguese coach, Fernando Santos, spoke about the match that awaits his team in the quarterfinals of the World Cup 2022, this Saturday against Morocco. In his statement to the media, the Portuguese coach recalled the memory of the Morocco-Portugal match of the 2018 World Cup and admitted that the match against the Atlas Lions will not be an easy task.

Portugal defeated Switzerland (6-1) in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday and now faces Morocco in the quarterfinals. After the match against Switzerland, Portuguese coach Fernando Santos admitted that the match against Morocco would be difficult.

Santos also recalled the Morocco-Portugal World Cup match in Russia in 2018, in which his team struggled to defeat the Atlas Lions. “I recall our World Cup match against Morocco in 2018.” It won’t be easy for us because we’ll be playing a difficult match against a team that managed to knock Spain out of the title race.

Morocco will cause us a lot of problems because they won’t give us much room to develop our game,” the Portuguese coach assured.

He also stated that Morocco would be a difficult opponent. “Our match against Morocco in 2018 was the most difficult for us in the competition, much more difficult than our loss to Uruguay.”

As a result, I believe Morocco will be a difficult opponent. “We will now try to analyze this opponent in order to make the best decisions possible before the game,” said the Portuguese coach.

“We must give everything against Morocco,” says Bruno Fernandes.

Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese Team’s offensive midfielder, also spoke about the difficult match that awaits him and his teammates this Saturday against Morocco.

To defeat the Atlas Lions on Saturday, the Manchester United midfielder will have to give his all.

“It’s a game we have to win against a team that is difficult to beat, a team that has sacrificed a lot to get where they are.”

“As a result, we must give everything we have in order to win this game.We are prepared to achieve this goal,” the 28-year-old stated.
