“The biggest difficulty today was the pitch,” said Bruno Cesar, following his first appearance with the team. “You can see how difficult it was to play because of the condition of the pitch.
My debut was fine, there were no difficulties. We did well and won, that’s important.”
The Benfica man was not the only man to speak out, with Valencia’s Diego Alves also concerned.
“The pitch was not up to standard,” said the goalkeeper on the night. “What matters is that no one was hurt and we can go with a full team to face Egypt.”
