Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes admitted that he did “many errors” during the Euro 2024 group stage match against the Czech Republic.
During the match, Bruno Fernandes and his star-studded team failed to score a goal during the first half of the match.
In the second half, Lukáš Provod surprised the Portuguese team by scoring the first goal of the match in the 62nd minute.
Portugal waited for an own goal from Robin Hranáč in the 69th minute to get the tie.
Although Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes played every minute of the match, it was 21-year-old substitute Francisco Conceição who scored the winning goal in the second minute of stoppage time.
After the match, Fernandes told reporters that he took too many risks during the match and made mistakes, especially in the first half.
However, the 29-year-old midfielder added that he is not afraid of making mistakes, something he said is part of football.
“We made a lot of mistakes in the first half, especially me,” Fernandez said.
“Taking risks has two sides of the coin. I am aware of this. Midfielders take more risks.
“But also, once I can pass the ball, I have a lot of quality in front of me to score a goal.
“So I’m not worried about making mistakes, because it’s part of the game.”
Bruno Fernandes and his Portuguese team hope to continue fighting for first place in Group F by beating Turkey on Saturday, June 22.
