As the 3rd round of the UEFA A League is about to kick off, Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes attended a press conference on his upcoming match against Poland
The game and his own performances for club and country have been commented on.
Speaking of Poland
When the team, Bruno said, "Poland
The team has a number of big name players who are playing at a very high level. They have a particular physical advantage compared to the past. At set-pieces they are very strong and technically have very good players, especially up front. Therefore, we need to find ways to crack their advantage."
Talking about his low points at the club, Bruno admitted: "When I talk about me going through bad moments, people might think of me being shown a red card twice in one week, but I don't think that's fair. It's part of soccer and it happens from time to time. I've taken responsibility for that moment on social media because I had my teammates playing with 10 men and still needed them to win the game. With the national team, I feel good and the players around me help me a lot. As a midfielder who scores a lot of goals, I have to meet expectations and I have my own standards. I hope to come back to Manchester United and help the club win by scoring goals."
On the newcomers to the national team, Bruno recalled his first selection for the national team: "I was shy when I was first selected for the national team, surrounded by big names like Crowe, Nani and Coentrao. They made me feel comfortable with each other and there were also some players I played with who made me feel at home. My role now is to make sure that other people enjoy the national team as well, they have to do something good to be here and opportunities like this don't come to everyone."
Speaking about Sporting Portugal's coach Ruben Amorim, Bruno believes he is ready to go to England: "Sporting Portugal has been one of the best teams playing since Ruben Amorim took over. He has led the team back to the league title after 20 years, which is not easy. His level of coaching is there for all to see and I think he is ready for a bigger challenge."
On meeting Diogo Costa again, Bruno said, "We play against each other in games and that's it. We play for our respective teams without any personal grudges. The atmosphere here is very healthy and it has to be kept up."
Talking about his feelings about returning to the national team when things weren't going well at United, Bruno said, "At United, we were in a bad phase and not winning games. The national team is completely different, I've felt at home. The atmosphere is great, I'm in my own country, speak my own language and eat better food. It's important to be able to differentiate between different moments and turn negative things into positive ones. I will try to do my best, no matter what club or national team I am in."
Talking about how to break Poland
When the team's defense, Bruno said, "We have studied our opponents, they are physically strong and have a great ability to set the ball. We need to be patient to conduct the organization, the number of shots may be less, but we have to pass the ball up."
A member of the 2019 UEFA Champions League, Bruno said the current squad is still strong: "All teams are strong, but we've always had a strong team. There are times when you go further. This team has the desire to return to glory, our goal is always to win and now the goal is to beat Poland
In conclusion, Bruno's comments on the Polish
The team's 19-year-old player, Oyedele, spoke highly of him: "He's a great player and I've played with him for a long time. He is working very well and will definitely get his chance. He will definitely play in the game against Portugal."
