After the opening 1:1 draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Group K, Roberto Martinez's team received a barrage of criticism, especially Ronaldo.. Prote 23-river Conceisan, speaking at a pre-conference at the training camp in Palm Beach (Florida), sang that decisions on the field are praised, including in the interests of the game.

In response to journalists, the Juventus Turin winger explained that the dynamics of football simply do not take time to think about the status of teammates:.

" As they say to themselves, I give the transfer to the one who, in my opinion, is currently in the best position and is not covered by a rival. I don’t have enough time to think about those accusations that my teammate instructed me to make. Thousands of seconds, we do everything instinctively"

At this point, Conceisan emphasized the uniqueness of his captain:.

" You are here to help, as is another member of the national team."

For Francisco himself, this World Cup is special: he made his debut at the World Cup exactly 24 days after his father, Sergio Conceico, stole the colors of Portugal at the 2002 tournament.. The young man knows that the work ethics of the 41-year-old Ronaldo is hostile to the entire team:.

" You have the utmost motivation and train in such a way that you won’t stop training. Since we have already achieved so much and continue to work on such endeavors, our motivation to achieve a part of what we achieve may be even greater.. "

Conceicao, who last summer traveled from Porto to Juventus for 27.5 million pounds sterling (36.5 million dollars), says that the team is ready to cope with criticism after a poor start.

" We know: if things go wrong, there will be more criticism.. There is no one who would feel worse for us in moments of failure, even though we can feel on the skin of our heads that we haven’t given up our work like a trace. Now let us lie down so that we can give the best evidence for the upcoming match,” the footballer summed up.

The Portuguese national team continues intensive training in preparation for the match in the second round of the group stage against the Uzbekistan national team, which will take place in the second round at Houston.. Roberto Martinez's team is determined to achieve its first victory in the tournament.
