The Portugal coach's praise for Bruno Fernandes that Cristiano will not like

The Portuguese national team is experiencing an important moment after the arrival of coach Roberto Martinez. The Portuguese team is enjoying a cohesion that is certainly encouraging and is reflected in the team's performance and results. The club is performing defensively, and on the attacking side, its performance is getting better and better. Now, one of his great pillars like Bruno Fernandes receives praise from the coach that may make Cristiano Ronaldo uncomfortable.

It's no secret that Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo don't have the best relationship ever. However, it is not as negative a relationship as some suggest. But there are tensions since they both shared a dressing room at Manchester United. Now, with Roberto Martínez, the Red Devils footballer seems to look better than ever, although Cristiano Ronaldo is not far behind, scoring important goals on the recent FIFA date.

“Bruno Fernandes is the dream footballer for any technical director,” said Roberto Martínez after Portugal's victory in the qualifying rounds for EURO 2024. "He is very intelligent. He gives us a lot of tactical flexibility and adapts to the qualities of his teammates. "He only needs one training session to get the idea of the game. And his execution of it is of a high level. He has a vision of the game of superlative quality. He also works a lot without the ball," said the Spaniard. Bruno, heading to Euro 2024, is also the player who has created the most chances (29) and has stolen a total of 33 balls.

What else did the Portugal coach say?

"Matches with intensity, a very high competitive level and in which we can adapt and grow as a team," he said. “We are in October and we have to continue with the work we do in training. It is important to have everyone, but not make changes without the idea of showing the best level. We want to win the group," he concluded.
