Before the match:
After the 3: 2 victory over the Republic of Ireland in the first round, the match with the current European champion is a new big test for the team of the new coach Dragan Stojković Piksi.
Interestingly, Serbia has not beaten the Portuguese since 1984, and at that time the scorer was the current coach of the Eagles.
Before this duel, selector Stojković pointed out that his team will not defend itself.
– In the last two matches, we lost to Portugal in Belgrade, we will do everything to break that tradition, I believe we will succeed, although I know it will not be easy. We will not give up in advance, we see the game as a great challenge and we believe that we can match such a strong team. The atmosphere at the last training session was great and we can’t wait for it to start. It is a great motivation when you play against the European champions and we will enjoy football.
On the other hand, the coach of the Portuguese, Fernando Santos, stated that he has great respect for the selection of Serbia, but not fear.
– We came to Belgrade to win. I extremely appreciate Serbia, selector Stojković. I know him as a football player, from Marseille, I saw that he changed some things in the formation, now there are three in the back line, but I believe in my team – said Santos.
