According to Conceiçao the Manchester City manager did not speak appropriately about Portugal which is a contrast to what he said at the pre-match press conference praising football, the national team and even Portuguese society. “Now I understand what he said in the preview about the weight of the Porto bench, he was a clear example of that.
