After Portugal defeated Norway 2-1, coach Jorge Jesus spoke to SportTV about his substitution strategy, the team's defensive performance, and João Félix's movement and effort.

On the Substitutions

Jesus said: "My substitutions weren't just about protecting the result in the final ten minutes. I always wanted to change the score to 3-1. I felt that bringing on attacking players with more energy and better offensive quality than defenders could surprise Norway. Bernardo Silva's individual ball control is excellent, and we need someone who can control the game in midfield."

On the Match

Jesus said: "This was a great victory. In my opinion, Norway is among Europe's top five teams. They have a striker who can score at any time, which is incredible. However, our last defensive line, especially our two centre-backs, performed brilliantly. João Palhinha and Rúben Neves also helped with midfield defence during their time on the pitch. Still, Haaland had six shots in the penalty area and one went in. I'm satisfied with my team. This process isn't easy; we need to keep improving in the Nations League's official matches. This isn't a friendly where a manager can test things freely. Testing new things here can go very well or very badly, and we take risks. If something goes wrong, we can't go back."

On the Team's Defensive Performance

Jesus said: "Defence doesn't depend only on the last defensive line. To be a good pressing team, the front defensive line is crucial, and that's how I want to play. Gonçalo Ramos has to control one opponent, and João Félix has to control one midfielder and one centre-back—two opponents. He ran a lot and played very well."
