The performance, the Portuguese tactician said was below expectation. Leading a country to play against his Portugal in his fatherland was a great emotions for Jose but he was so disappointed with the final outcome. 

He said, “We have to improve and improve a lot. It was a first half below what we expected, the second was much better.

“Portugal was better, they are superior, they have a great selection, but the scoreline is heavy and exaggerated because we could have made it 2-1 and then we suffered 0-3 and 0-4. We cannot concede four goals and some of them the way they were.

“It was a great emotion to be in this stadium where I spent great moments, facing Portugal, listening to the anthem… I am sad about the result, but being here and facing Portugal was a pleasure.”
