Ireland midfielder: We can cause problems for Portugal if we are bolder in dribbling

6686 Sports News on November 12, Irish midfielder Cullen, who plays for Burnley, said that he believes that the team can cause trouble for Portugal and win the game.

When the two teams met for the first time in October, Portugal won at the last moment with Neves' last shot. Cullen said: "That game really gave us confidence. We held a team meeting and the message was clear: We firmly believe that we can achieve the ideal result. We must maintain the best competitive condition, be fully prepared, and believe that we can do it."

We know the strength of the Portuguese team, but the match a month ago proved that we can contain them. We must dribble the ball more bravely. We have good players in the team who are good at holding the ball, enough to cause problems for the opponent.

"When facing the best teams in the world, their main focus is sometimes not on the defensive level. So when we get a dribbling opportunity, I think there is room to break through. This is what I have learned personally on the court - there is indeed room to break through this team's defense when holding the ball. No matter who the opponent is, we have to believe that we can win."
