Seat B: We were very predictable. The problem today was more technical and tactical.

November 14th: After losing 0-2 to Ireland in the World Cup preliminaries, Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva said in an interview that the team did not control the transition between offense and defense well.

Seat B said this: "This was a difficult game. Ireland allowed us to have the ball, but their counterattacks and set pieces were very good, and their attack speed was very fast. Due to their excellent performance and some of our mistakes, the game became very complicated. We did not control the transition between offense and defense well, and they were in a set piece." We took a 1-0 lead on the ball, which made the game more difficult. "

"Our offense was not efficient enough, not many people entered the shooting area, and the performance was very predictable. It is always difficult to attack against a five-back defense, especially against a team that is very physical. I wouldn't say it was anxiety, but we did. We really hope to win the game and secure qualification for the World Cup."

"But the players in this team are playing at the highest level and will not get anxious easily. The problems today are more technical and tactical. There is no doubt that we will fight for the victory as usual. We fought to win but failed and we are sad and disappointed. "

"Football is like that, the opponent was very good and well-organized, and the game in Portugal also gave us a lot of difficulties, but now we go to Porto to ensure our World Cup qualification. "
