Jose Mourinho Names Spain the Biggest Surprise of Euro 2024
Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has been keeping a close eye on the action at Euro 2024, and he’s been impressed by one team in particular – Spain.
In a recent interview, Mourinho praised Spain’s performance, stating that they’re the biggest surprise of the tournament so far. He explained that he wasn’t expecting this level of progress from the Spanish team, and that they’ve evolved into a completely new unit.
"Spain is the biggest surprise for me, in the way the team has evolved, they are practically a new team. For me, at the moment, they are the team that plays the best and the one that has played the best throughout the tournament," Mourinho said.
Mourinho was in attendance for Portugal’s quarter-final match against France, and he admits that he had a bad feeling about his country’s chances during the match. Despite reaching the quarter-finals, Mourinho believes that Portugal didn’t play to their full potential and didn’t make the progress that he had expected.
Portugal’s elimination from the tournament marked the end of an era for the national team, with the departure of veteran players Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe. However, Mourinho believes that this could be a blessing in disguise, as it allows the team to rebuild and look towards the future.
"The World Cup is just around the corner, and Portugal has a young team with years ahead of them. It’s a chance for them to rebuild and make a fresh start," Mourinho said.
Mourinho’s comments are sure to spark debate among football fans, but it’s clear that he’s been impressed by Spain’s performances so far. With the semi-finals just around the corner, it’s set to be an exciting conclusion to Euro 2024.
