Rodrigo Mora: “If we keep this up, I believe we can win the Under-21 Euros” | OneFootball

Rodrigo Mora has already given a preview of the Czech Republic–Portugal (U21) match, part of the Euro 2027 qualifying phase, scheduled for this Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. In a press conference, he began by saying the following:

“Yes, they are the toughest opponent in our group, but we are Portugal. I think we are the best team, but I believe the most important thing is that we have to prove it tomorrow on the pitch. It’s going to be a very close game, with lots of duels, but with our quality and our attitude as well, it’s going to be a good game for us.”

Regarding the Czech Republic, he highlighted:

“I think set pieces are one of their strengths that we have to pay attention to. They will also press high, which we’re not so used to, but we’ve had a whole week to train, so we’re all aware of what’s going to happen.”

Mora has scored in every game of this qualifying stage, but he emphasizes the priority of the team. “I’m only here to help the group and whenever I score I’m happy, but the most important thing is really the 21 goals scored and especially the zero conceded. It means the whole group is helping each other a lot, we’re all committed.” he said.

As for the ambitions of the national team, he added:

“It’s a very good group, very united. The coach also tries to convey the idea that we need a strong and united group if we want to be European champions. If we keep going down this path, I believe we will succeed.”
