Tell you one thing. Bernardo was pretty much Portugal’s best player, in the match I saw. That’s really with blue specs off. Everything, absolutely everything, was going through him. His control is exceptional, his vision good. He’s going to be an absolutely monumental player for us in years to come. The perfect player for the type of team we are.
Nico Otamendi, incidentally, was among the better players for Argentina.
Take a rest, Bernardo, Kun, Nico, Leroy. Come back fresh and raring to go. It’s going to be a long wait till August. The only thing that’ll get me through will be acquiring the services of one or two players. Say, a right winger. And maybe a defensive midfielder. Any ideas?
