THE Portugal entered the Euro of 2024 with high expectations, however, he was disappointed as he did not show a good competitive face at any point in the competition and was eventually eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Making an account of the course of the Iberians, o Jose Mourinho he stressed that he did expect more based on the talent of the team, however he pointed out that it is one young set and has the necessary elements for one good course in the future.
In detail what he said:
“There’s always disappointment when you feel like you could have done better. The potential of the team was very high, I did not go too far when I said that Portugal, France and England were favorites, two of them are in the semi-finals. Spain is the biggest surprise for me because of the way the team developed, a young team, which is the one that played the best in the whole tournament.
Portugal were not fantastic, despite reaching the quarter-finals. We expected more. I was in Jamor, in [φιλικό] game against Croatia and I didn’t have a good feeling. Then, during the tournament, we were that team that kept going forward, but it didn’t convince. Often, those teams that keep going reach the moment of truth and are stronger, but that was not the case with Portugal, there was no improvement.
However, they are a young team, they have years ahead of them. We are moving forward, the World Cup is just around the corner!”.
