Jorge Jesus: Bruno Fernandes and Felix may switch positions during game

Portugal coach Jorge Jesus discussed the match against Denmark in an interview with Sport TV. Portugal will face Denmark at the Braga Municipal Stadium and is expected to secure first place in the group after this match.

On the objective of this match

Jorge Jesus said: "Our goal is to finish first in the group and fight for victory. But we also know that the opponent is a good team, with excellent individual players and physically strong. The movement and coordination of the Portugal players will not give the Denmark players time to move forward and exploit their physical advantage. By the time they arrive, the ball will no longer be there."

On Bruno Fernandes's space for movement

Jorge Jesus said: "If they play the player who previously played right-back in Denmark, he is a center-back, which is beneficial for Bruno Fernandes. Will Alexander Bah play? If so... what about Victor Froholdt? Is he not playing? Then they will play as they did before in Denmark."

On the team's game plan

Jorge Jesus said: "Our approach to the game will remain unchanged. The team has its own playing philosophy, which will not change, but will be adjusted according to the opponent. Today Bruno might have to run a little more..."

On Neves playing as a defensive midfielder

Jorge Jesus said: "They are all very good players, but with different characteristics. Even if Neves plays further away from the forwards, he can pass the ball to them with amazing speed. Defensively, he has worked with me for the past few years, which is also his advantage. The balance between him and the two center-backs is well maintained."

On the second striker position

Jorge Jesus said: "We have many players who can play this position. Bruno Fernandes, young Mora, and Francisco Trincão. We have also considered the future."

On whether Bruno Fernandes and Felix can swap positions

Jorge Jesus said: "Only during the game might they temporarily leave their positions due to movement and appear in each other's positions, but we will not arrange for them to consciously swap positions. João does not have such characteristics. Bruno's current position is similar to where he played at Sporting CP and now at Manchester United."
