Croatia is a very strong team, we were in control of the sunshine situation, but they were a big threat to get away from us and forced us to play high up the pitch," said Diogozzo, who scored for Portugal after the match. The result is not important. Portugal had a good training session. We should be ready for the next game. Of course, our goal is to win the Europa League."
