7:27 PM – Fernando Santos’ press conference ends.
– The importance of the return of the public – “Without an audience a part of the advantage disappears. Five thousand is already very good, in many championships and fields. It is always exciting to have an audience, whatever the number it is. A stadium full of singing the anthem It was better, but with five thousand we will listen to the anthem more. It is very important. In France it felt like that. It was only us playing the anthem. It is very important that it comes from outside, well for me, for the players. Fundamental, whether there are many or few, it is very important! “

– Alternative to Cristiano Ronaldo in the band – “Only tomorrow will you know, around 6 pm”.
– Changes in the ‘eleven’ of the National Team compared to the last game – “I’m going to move, I didn’t want to, but I’m already moving [devido ao caso positivo à Covid-19 de Cristiano Ronaldo]. One or the other may happen, but the team will not be much different from the last game. In your case, it will be due to physical wear and tear. It’s a very important game for us. “
– Quality of the Swedish team – “All the teams from League A in the Nations League are the best 16 in the world, basically they are the best teams. Nordic teams usually have players with a lot of quality. The wingers, whether Kulusevki or Forsberg take the team to the part of the imagination, transport it to the most creative game. The accounts of this group go through Sweden a lot, it must be taken into account “.
– Candidacy for victory in the League of Nations – “I think Portugal in recent years, and there have been some long years, which has always shown. I, since I arrived, I immediately said what was coming, I said that Portugal is a candidate And everyone thought that I was crazy. Today, Portugal enters any game to win. Against the World Champion and another of the best teams in the World, we play to win and it will always be like that. What I believe is that, Portugal in this moment is affirmed and pointed out Portugal is a team that is respected by its rivals. More important than that, Portugal will always be prepared for these games, as Rúben said and well, to play others “.
– The effect of Ronaldo’s absence in the team – “The plan is the same. Of course the dynamics are different. Cristiano has his own characteristics and the commentators themselves say so. Having Cristiano, who is a more mobile player, obviously The details are different. But the team already played without him and did well, but it has to do with the DNA that the team now has. “
– CR7 reaction and steps taken: “When he did the second test and it was confirmed, he went to isolate. The players last night went to his room and this morning we heard the news. Then we went back to the tests. At that time Cristiano was immediately isolated in the room, he communicates from up there with us. Okay, no problem. He doesn’t even understand what happened to him. Obviously it was three difficult moments. First, Fonte, we arrived and we have a positive case. “It’s nice. We are not going to escape from reality, there was apprehension. It was repeated with Anthony and also this morning. It is absolutely normal. When you go to train in the morning and move on into the afternoon, it’s not common. It is natural to Talk and comment. Since everything calms down, everyone has passed the test. Unfortunately he had a positive test. It happened like this, it will happen like this. It happened with France after the game against Sweden, with Mbappé positive. with the team, he traveled, the next day he tested positive, left, life continued “
– Fernando Santos and the Covid-19 case of CR7: “Unfortunately for us we have this problem again. A very abnormal situation. I said before, no team in the world is better without the best in the world. But this team has already shown that has the ability to respond collectively and I have full confidence in the players. If I would like to have it, yes, but I have absolute confidence in those who play it. This question of Covid-19, besides being sad on the human side, but also because it We have done everything that has been said. Health is very important to us. Since Monday we are completely confined here. Staff and players have entered and no one else has entered. There is no one outside to enter. In the first stage we had no problems but it happened here and it was not due to non-compliance with the rules. It was not here that the virus attacked. It is like this. Players have been concerned about keeping the rules safe. We did seven tests, every day they tested us, for this obviously this is what leaves us with the pleasure of everything that we did and happened. Unfortunately, no one really knows what this problem is. I did not perceive it. We leave, bus, airport … Whatever the rules of the DGS, we have complied with them to the letter. When something very common happens, it is normal to speak, comment. All maintained the negative test, unfortunately Cristiano maintained the positive one “.
19h06 – The round of questions to Fernando Santos begins.
– How does the team react in the absence of Ronaldo? – “Any player who is absent due to Covid-19 is a low weight. The CR is perhaps a little bigger, but we are prepared. It is part of that and we will definitely turn it around”
– Rúben Dias on Sweden’s difficulties – “We must not be fooled by the match we have already played. A match that was made easier with the opportunities we created. But they also created opportunities before sending off. Strong physically and on dead balls , but with a lot of quality. It will be a difficult game, we will only win if we are good “
– Rúben Dias on playing alongside Pepe – “It is not normal for a player of Pepe’s age to continue with the performance he has had and we should be glad that he is. Individually, there is little better than having the experience and the experience of playing with him by my side. For all these reasons, for everything he stands for, he played and won. I see it as an opportunity to learn every day.
– Rúben Dias on the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo: “Obviously these are not positive factors, it is not something you want to happen, but given the context, it is part of the game, unfortunately. You have to know how to deal with it and we are prepared for this situation It has been happening for a long time, but that is also why we have already learned to live with the care that we must take. It is part of it, nobody wants to, but you have to know how to face it. There is a certain ease to face this. “
