Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez shared his emotions after his team's victory over Ireland in the qualifying match before the World Cup. A mentor signifies both the character of his opponent and the performance of his players.

" The native of Ireland is strong, she showed herself in the spring, and came here as a wounded beast. We assumed that they would give us evidence. Ale smut was not to wilt, not to allow them to counterattack and accept any threat to these standards.

The result has the same stench as a truly careless blow for the entire match,” Martinez said on the RTP broadcast.

The coach also praised his players for their performance and team work: “We scored our first goal earlier. Our game without a ball was on the highest level. I was honored, as the team saw - we did not lose our composure. It's important, but the victory is absolutely deserved"
