Mourinho on Portugal after Benfica return: We're on the right track | OneFootball

On the sidelines of the gala organized by the FPF, José Mourinho commented on the national team and the Benfica coach highlighted the work being done in Portugal.

Last night, October 7, another edition of the Portugal Football Globes took place, attended by various sports personalities, such as José Mourinho. Upon entering the gala, the Benfica coach answered some questions and also touched on the Portugal National Team.

Present on the 'black carpet' where he was interviewed by journalists present, the Special One was open to talking about the national team: "Looking at what is now more obvious, which is the composition of the National Team, we are talking about players who play in the biggest Portuguese clubs but also in the best European leagues".

Following this, the Benfica coach added that over the years, quality has been a constant image in the National Team: "The prestige is very high and accumulates. We can always talk about the pioneers, the first players and coaches to go abroad, but so many years have passed that now it's the accumulation of talent".

Finally, José Mourinho highlighted the role that the Federation has played in this evolutionary process of the national team: "The FPF is creating all the conditions for Portugal to have the conditions we have today. In a World Cup year, saying that we don't have the ambition to be world champions is almost heresy".

The Special One decided to give his players four days off, however, there is a quartet that was not included in this decision by the coach and they will continue their work, thinking about the new tight schedule of the Eagles.
