Jose Mourinho criticizes midfielder Bruno Fernandez as Portugal prepares for the crucial clash against France in the Euro Cup. Mourinho said Portugal needed 11 players on the pitch to win, adding that it was as if Bruno Fernandez had not been with the team in the last two games.
Although Bruno Fernandes is a very talented player, Mourinho said that the quality of playing for Manchester United has not been shown in Euros. Mourinho also expressed hope that the player will perform well in the final match against France.

“Portugal can beat anyone at a high level, but for that we have to play with eleven players. Bruno Fernandez has not played in these two matches at all. I expect a very talented player to come back against France.” Mourinho told ToxSports.
The player can give passes, score goals, score penalties, score goals and take free kicks. But the player has not been in the last two matches. Portugal’s attacking line-up includes three great players. Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, Jota. We need a connection to this, but it would not be possible without Bruno. “
Coach Santos dropped Bruno Fernandez in the first two matches of the Euro Cup, but the player was withdrawn in the 63rd minute against Germany. It should come as no surprise that Santos, who has conceded just one shot in the tournament so far, will be out against France and try out players like Renato Sanchez.
