Portugal are set to play a friendly fixture against Italy this midweek and the Selecao das Quinas’ head coach, Fernando Santos is hoping that his players can show strong motivation for it.
Facing the end of season, not to mention only playing in a friendly game, there’s a fear from Santos that players won’t be that motivated enough for that tie.
That’s why the tactician reminded his players that no matter the event, they are representing their country so they must not think about tiredness and give their all against Italy.
Meanwhile, Portugal winger, Luis Nani, ensured his coach that he and his teammates will have the same motivation and concentration just like it was another Euro qualifier game.
