Roberto Martinez criticized Portugal's disappointing 1-0 loss to Denmark in their Nations League quarter-final, marking it as their worst showing in two years. The team struggled offensively, creating only eight shots compared to Denmark's 23. Martinez noted the lack of intensity and aggression, attributing some of their challenges to the long break prior to the match. Bruno Fernandes highlighted the need for a better approach in the return leg, emphasizing the team's blend of youth and experience as a positive yet acknowledging their shortcomings on the field.
It was our worst performance in the last two years. During the game we didn't do what we had to do to play with the atmosphere and the aggressiveness that Denmark have.
We have a very experienced and also very young team at the same time. We are always aware of what we are capable of doing. It is not at all worrying, but it is a lesson in what we have to do differently in the next game.
