Waware of the quality of the Portuguese team, Sweden’s coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, previewed the game with Portugal, which takes place this Thursday, in Guimarães, in preparation for Euro’2024. Tomasson joked and said that the team on the corners is “the Manchester City” of teams.
“Portugal is a great team, one of the best in Europe at the moment, it is the Manchester City of national teams. With Roberto Martínez, Portugal played 10 games and conceded just two goals. They won every game and are an inspiration to me, because of their way of playing. They have very good players, but they are also a team. It will be a great challenge for us to face him”, began by evaluating the former Danish player.
Furthermore, Tomasson confirmed the presence of a Sporting player and a former Benfica athlete. “Of course Lindelof will play and so will Gyokeres. I’m surprised by the number of people who like Gyokeres here in Portugal. I understand them. I know him from the Championship, he’s a great player, he did very well at Coventry. He’s also going to be a starter. The Federation wants me to implement an attacking way of playing, a modern way and we have young players who can do that, who can excite the fans. We know that this is the first step in a long journey, against a team that inspires, as they are a great selection”, he said.
