The head coach of the Portuguese shared his expectations from the match.

Fernando Santos commented on the eve of the fight against Germany in the second round of the group stage of the European Championship.

" In one match, Emre Can was left-back and was key on the field. But lately this is a 3-4-3 scheme. I watched the match with France carefully, and in the second half, Kimmich played inside, and Ginter pressed on the right flank.

At some point, Portugal became a team to be reckoned with. She was strong before, but the four or five leading European national teams, although they paid tribute to Portugal and the Portuguese footballers, but inside they believed that they were stronger and should win. I think at the moment no one in Europe and the world thinks that it is easy to play with Portugal.

I'm not afraid of Germany at all. I think both teams respect each other and are strong enough to decide the outcome of the match.. But don't go too far and claim that Portugal is the favorite in the away match against Germany.. With this attitude, my players will not even achieve a draw "
