On the eve of the League of Nations fight against the Italian team, Portugal coach Fernando Santos told about his expectations of the match.

"The match against Croatia, which we played in a draw, was comradely and had an experimental character," said Santos. - Against Italy we need to get three points, and we will try to do it. Changes in our team will be minimal, all my players are confident in themselves. In addition, we will play at home and look forward to the support of fans.

While we can not count on Cristiano Ronaldo, but with him or without him we will play to win. I am sure that his adaptation in Juventus will not last, and we will see a lot of goals scored by Ronaldo both for the club and for the national team ".

Match Portugal - Italy will be held on Monday, September 10, in Lisbon at the stadium of Da Luz. Beginning at 21:45 in Kiev time.
