It is a confident Portugal.
The team believes in victory and does not warn of any Swedish player.
– Portugal is a better team than Sweden and we will win, says the captain of the national team Fernando Santos.
Portugal impressed in the first round of the Nations League and defeated Croatia 4-1. Without Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now Ronaldo is expected to join in and strengthen the team.
At the same time, Sweden lost 0-1 to France.
Before the match at Friends Arena, Portugal is confident of victory and believes that Sweden is better as a team than individually.
– There are no special players in Sweden that we are talking about. Sweden has a compact team that we must be aware of. It is more the team that is good, but not a special player we are talking about, said Ruben Dias.
Dias played alongside Victor Nilsson Lindelöf at Benfica and was the one who took over as a midfielder when the Swede moved to Manchester United. But when Fotbollskanalen asks Dias how he sees Lindelöf, if he learned anything from him and what it was like to play together, he doesn’t want to talk about it.
– I played with Lindelöf at Benfica B. He is a good player, but now I hope we win. I’m not here to talk about him. He is a good player, otherwise he would never have played for Manchester United, says Dias.
Federation captain Fernando Santos also believes that Sweden is a strong team and believes in victory.
– Sweden have good players but I can’t say who or which is good. As a team, Sweden is very good. When you come across such a compact team, you have to be very good to win. The important thing is that we are prepared. Sweden is very smart and knows exactly how to get into positions, but Portugal is a better team than Sweden and we will win, says Santos.
Sweden-Portugal kicks off on Tuesday at 8:45 p.m. You can watch the game on TV4, C More Live and cmore.se. The transmission begins at 8:00 p.m.
