Quoted by the Serbian daily Zurnal, the dragon player also admitted to exchanging humorous provocations with his colleague Pepe. “There were some mouths, despite the difficult sequence of games for the championship and champions. The Portuguese are aware of the importance of this game and, perhaps, they are under pressure a little, ”he concluded.
However, like Gruzic, coach Dragan Stojkovic was even more insistent about today’s feature. “I don’t care if my players don’t come into focus tomorrow. [hoje]… Physically we are in Belgrade, but the head is in Lisbon. The game with Qatar does not matter, and it will be just a good practice, “the coach shot, showing that he does not believe in Portugal’s trip to Dublin:” We will closely monitor what is happening, but I do not expect anything special from this games “.
