Fernando Santos, Portugal coach, spoke to RTP about his team's victory in a Nations League game against Switzeland.

"The first ten minutes were a bit confused. We couldn't find the way with the ball, Switzerland pressed hard. But once we found a way, we dominated. Switzerland tried, but we had very good offensive action and strong recovery and pressure. From then on the game was controlled."

"It was a very good performance in the first half. In the second, not so much, but we had chances, just not with the same tempo. We had the ball at the right moments and apart from those 10 minutes I think the rest went well."

"I am a coach who is satisfied when I win and when the team plays as it has rehearsed. We could have scored one or two more in the first half. In the second half the pace dropped, the players are not machines. Switzerland created some problems, but we always found the right solutions."
