Portugal Coach Sends A Message To UEFA!

Spaniard Roberto Martinez, coach of the Portuguese national team, ignored the controversy over the Frankfurt Stadium pitch, before facing Slovenia in the round of 16 in the European Nations Cup currently being held in Germany. The pitch, which often causes players to slip, has been subjected to many criticisms from the participating teams, while Julian Nagelsmann, the coach of the German national team (machines), pointed out the risks of players being injured as a result. For his part, Martinez said in an interview with reporters: “The pitch is still as it is. It is the fifth match being held there. We are confident that the European Football Association (UEFA) and all officials will do their best to improve the condition of the pitch.” The Portuguese national team, the 2016 champion, enters the match as the leader of Group F, despite losing in the last round of the group stage by two unanswered goals to Georgia, where Martinez had included many reserve players in the match. For its part, the Slovenian national team qualified as one of the four best teams that ranked third in the group stage. The Slovenian national team tied all three matches. Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet scored a goal in the tournament held in Germany, and he is seeking to be the first player to score in six European Nations tournaments at the age of 39.
