Match Quotes
Wales Manager Chris Coleman said, “The bigger countries have got to get into quarter-finals, semi-finals, final. We didn’t. We had to come and perform for us, for inside our camp. Other countries who’ve been there before – the pressure is different for them. I’ve not really got any interest in other countries, whether that’s England, Spain or whoever.”
“It’s just about Wales and the next game in the campaign has always been our biggest one. We know Portugal are favourites, they have had tournament experience and played at World Cups, and we’ll go into it as underdogs. But that’s no problem at all,” Coleman added.
Portugal coach Fernando Santos said, “Of course, Wales and Iceland are the teams everyone likes, because nobody expected them to get this far. I’m not worried about being the ugly duckling or someone who feels sorry for himself. I’m interested about getting to the final and winning it. It doesn’t bother me or the players at all. Would I like us to be pretty? Yes. But, in between being pretty and being at home, or being ugly and being here, I prefer to be ugly.”
