Portugal international Paligna talked about the rumors that Mourinho coached the Portuguese national team in an interview.

Recently there are rumors that Mourinho may become the new coach of the Portuguese national team. Is there any talk about this in the locker room of the national team?

No, no. I want to say that in our locker room, absolutely no one talks about the future of the so-called national team. I think we focus on the present because the national team belongs to each of us. Although there are all kinds of rumors outside, these have nothing to do with our players.

Therefore, the team is currently focusing on cooperation with the current national team coach Martinez, to be honest, no one pays attention to those rumors or whether Mourinho will come to the national team to coach. I think everyone is focused on working with Coach Martinez because he is our current coach and we only think about that. Therefore, what will happen in the future is not something we can decide, nor is it the focus of our current concern.

In the next UEFA European League semi-finals, Portugal will play against Germany

We have all the conditions to advance to the finals, and we are now only one step away from achieving this goal. We will go to the away game to challenge Germany, and that stadium is special to me. I think we are fully capable of doing this.

Do you predict that this game will be difficult?

First of all, we must focus on this game against Germany, because this game will never be easy, we must prepare for it. In fact, we don’t have much time to train, so we have to go all out and bring happiness to the Portuguese people and ourselves.
