Ronaldo suspended! Portugal coach: Even if someone cannot play, we are still capable of winning the game

Portugal national team coach Roberto Martinez was interviewed before the World Cup qualifying final against Armenia and responded to lineup selection and Ronaldo's absence.

About the starting arrangement for this game against Armenia​

"We need to use the players rationally. Semedo and Cancelo only played half the game, they are full of energy, and the B fee is also in good condition. We can use the tacit understanding between these players to play the cooperation we want. The key lies in attitude, concentration, playing with joy, relying on the support of the home fans, and don't forget our bench There are also five players with outstanding strength and distinctive characteristics."

Have we learned any lessons from the loss to Ireland?

"I mentioned this, we won all ten games in the European Cup qualifiers, but when it comes to the finals, I feel that if we can qualify for the World Cup, we will be more prepared this time, but the team's reaction is indeed a difficult moment. It's good. Now we have a chance to control our own destiny. This time the qualifying format is special, there are only six games. The final round is at home, the goal is to win. Just like life, nothing is easy. Today, we are ready to show the fans how to treat Ronaldinho. Suspension absence​

"Of course we will miss Cristiano Ronaldo, especially his experience. Also missing are Nuno Mendes, who is very unique on the left, and Pedro Neto, who is of a very high level. But even if there are players who cannot play, we must be able to win the game. Winning the World Cup is our ultimate goal, and we must become the kind of team that can win even if it is short of major players."
