vox888 Portugal defender Danilo Pereira says the team have learned from their 2-0 defeat to Georgia in their final Group F game at Euro 2024: Carelessness is the path to death, and he hopes the same thing will not happen again. vox888

The ‘Selecao’ team won the first two games to guarantee the group championship, so they rotated according to tradition. But what is inappropriate is the attitude of many players sent to face the FIFA ranking nation, number 74, which was clearly careless.  ( vox888 )

Whether it was attacker Joao Felix who showed the most symptoms, defender Antonio Silva who lost 2 goals, midfielder Joao Neves also got burned. Or even a backup like Nelson Semedo.  

That left the Paris Saint-Germain defender, who saw the team’s downfall early on, with lessons learned at the Augsburg Arena to bury for life.

“The important lesson learned is that we cannot underestimate our opponents,” the defender from the No. 6 FIFA rankings lamented.

“We know Georgia is tough, they go down in blocks and find opportunities to counter quickly,”

 “We push them to play in their own way. And to score two goals – it put the game in the opponent’s way, it was comfortable to play.”

As for the meeting with Slovenia in the Round of 16, the 32-year-old believes that Portugal are the ones who made the mistake of remembering. Therefore, I refuse to be the wrong buffalo and continue to play the same way. 

“The team has learned from last night’s game, and the game against Slovenia will be the same,”

“They will drop deep and try to attack us with quick counter-attacks, so we will use Georgia as an example and need to perform completely differently to last night.”

Black Bow aside from losing the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo , the captain of the team, also stopped the record of scoring at least 1 goal in the group stage of major football tournaments ( World Cup , European Championship ) as well.
