5% of the capacity of José Alvalade is not much, about

, but at least the icy atmosphere of pandemic football last night varied a bit.

There was a buzz, uys and ays, a novelty for the majority of Spanish players, used since June to play without an audience in the stands.

«I am very happy, yes.

Man, it's little public for such a big field, but something is something.

Hopefully we will go back to normal little by little ».

continued as in the previous one: very happy.

Well, I was actually happier than the previous one.

It was easy to guess because, after many months, he gave the press conference on-site, in the stadium's press room.

"What a joy to see you all here!" Proclaimed the team's press officer sincerely.

"Man, it's true, the novelty," said the coach.

Well thought out, perhaps it was too much to expect, despite his happiness, that he would show joy at seeing the journalists in front of him.

He showed surprise.

Joy already ... The fact is that, beyond the situation, the Asturian coach was satisfied with the performance of his team.

He went out to play against the European champion with a starting eleven where nine players did not exceed ten international matches.

"It's true, I've seen it too and I said: 'oops', but you only have to see the first half hour, how the team played, how they pushed, how they went after the rival ... There was a lot of personality in the field, "he said.

Today he has created three options, put good centers ... I am happy for him.

Well, and for all, "he said, because despite the anonymity of many of his boys, the team was" better than Portugal. "

“And we have also shown that the rival and the stage do not matter.

The idea is above all.

And the idea is to go and win the games, "he closed, not without first acknowledging that if you let a player like

shoot at goal

, worse things than a crossbar can happen to you.

By the way, the Portuguese star, who played in the stadium of his first club - although in the new one, not in the old one where he debuted and where today part of the museum is dedicated to him - greeted

with a smile

( who played 10 minutes to add 173 games with the national team) during the anthems.

The two, figures of an unforgettable stage at Real Madrid, had not seen each other since the Spain-Portugal of the 2018 World Cup. On that occasion, in the midst of the earthquake due to Lopetegui's dismissal, they also tied.
