In addition to Pedro Gonçalves’s debut, the UEFA European Championship squad highlights the names of William Carvalho (little used this season at Betis) and Diogo Hota (who was recently injured at Liverpool).
Thus, Fernando Santos discounted the question about the Liverpool striker: “The information that I have, and I trust the infirmary at this house, is that he is clinically healthy and on the 27th he will start training with other colleagues. Obviously, the clinical department has contacted Liverpool, but from the moment the report tells me it fits, I trust it. ”
As for William Carvalho, who has played just 10 games for Betis in the past three months, totaling only 223 minutes, the national team coach said: “In the last call, he could not be called because he did not have time to create rhythms, and this being so, it is an exception to the valuation method. He didn’t have normal regularity, but that’s from what we know about the player, from what he gave to the Chosen One. He does not play by his own choice, because every coach thinks about the game differently. I think William can bring important things and we have plenty of time for him to grow up. In a call to the 26th, he can add. There were alternatives, but I understand that there are things that only William has. This is my point of view, and I think that in Portugal there is no one with his characteristics. So, I realized that I need to call him “
Fernando Santos was also asked about the absent, namely Pedro Neto, who is also injured, but soon dissipated: “I will not talk about those who are not. It is wrong to say whether they are needed. “
