00:00I've got more than a hundred caps in international football and we used in
00:05this in this camp 21 outfield players. It's very difficult to maintain the
00:09level consistently with so many players. Normally it's easy to use 12-13 players
00:13and I think that speaks volumes of the quality that we have. A very committed
00:19generation, we're talking about players like Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Ruben
00:24Diaz, Cristiano, players that they've been there, they've done it, they've been
00:29there for a long time but then the new generation, they're coming, they can
00:32breathe and they can see the example of these of these players and the
00:36competition for places is fantastic. To be able to see a player like Pedro Neto
00:39that is still a very young player and another Chico Consinzao fighting for
00:45positions excites me incredibly for the future. We're working towards a
00:51Nations League, that's a reality today but the World Cup is in 19 months and it
00:57has to be an objective of what we do in every camp is to have that main
01:00objective at the end of the 19 months.
