According to Sel Radio, Portugal's national team coach Martinez was interviewed and talked about topics such as the selection of the Golden Globes this year.

About Portugal defeating Spain through a penalty shootout to win the UEFA Nations League championship

I am full of confidence in Portugal's performance in the penalty shootout, and we walked to the free throw point with full confidence.

Before the start of this UEFA semi-final, do you feel like you are fighting for the coach?

Although the president of the Portuguese Football Association is substituted, my goal is to prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

Why would you let Joao Neves play the fullback position?

I always consider the overall balance of the team. Neves is in excellent form at present and he has a strong ability to intercept the ball. We should make the most of this. In addition, we unfortunately lost Dalot, and the team needed speed on the wing. Neves played fullbacks in Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain. When he played in this position, we could also keep Vitinia, B Fee and others on the court at the same time.

What are your expectations for Yamal's development?

Yamar's problem is not on the tactical level, the most important thing is that he can maintain stability, and Yamal's performance is very rare for his age. If Yamal continues to maintain such development momentum, he will continue to make progress. As for the Golden Ball Awards, I think the premise is that you must win major honors with the team, such as the Champions League. Players like Vitina and Nuno Mendes are special because they have achieved great success at the club level.

Who would you vote for in this year's Golden Globe Awards...Who do you prefer between Yamal and Dembele?

If you allow me to say frankly, the Portuguese team once played against Yamal, and people thought it was difficult for us to limit him. The only effective way we could be to send Nuno Mendes to guard him. I think Mendes is an underrated player, and he has finally begun to gain the recognition he deserves recently. As of now, I will neither vote for Yamal nor Dembele, I support Nuno Mendes more.
