Fernando Santos, the Portuguese national coach, was in Doha to watch the 2022 World Cup draw, and he eventually reacted to Channel 11.
He stated that the group is a difficult one and he has to pay close attention to Ghana and South Korea.
“There are no easy groups, there are difficult groups. It's the draw. In this group we have football from three continents, four with Europe. It is with this expectation that I see this draw. Ghana and South Korea are teams we know less well, we have to pay close attention. We already faced Uruguay in the last World Cup [Portugal was eliminated in the round of 16]. It's a normal draw," he said.
And he added: “It is the question of the glass half full or half empty. If we look at the rankings, Portugal is the favourite, but in the last World Cup they lost against Uruguay and Paulo [Bento] has had a very strong run with South Korea,"
