    "editor1": "UEFA Nations League: After Portugal won their second Nations League title after beating Iberian neighbours Spain 5-3 on penalties, head coach Roberto Mart\u00ednez praised team's resilience and character throughout the intense match and said his side deserved to win the title.\n<p>Portugal became the first team to win the UEFA Nations League on two occasions after beating Spain on penalties following a 2-2 draw in the final at the Munich Football Arena.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Very proud. Finals are important to win. You need to be able to suffer as a team, to be resilient. To believe and keep going when Spain scores. We came back and showed a personality that was incredible. We are talking about a team that has a lot of experience in playing finals. I loved our attitude. Having the ability to grow during the game. I think we deserved to win the trophy,\" Martinez said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The coach highlighted the importance of the entire squad's contribution beyond the starting eleven. \"It's important to have more than 11 players. It was a very physically demanding game, but I think it was even more demanding mentally. We couldn't try to win the ball without knowing how and open up space for Spain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We always worked with very good ideas. We showed, when we had the ball, that we had a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow to create danger. The players on the bench came on and once again helped the final performance.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Addressing the off-field noise around his position, Martinez said, \"Noise is noise. We know the coach's position. There are opinions that are heartfelt, malicious. It's a shame because we are all working together for Portuguese football. Today was a demonstration of that. We have a team to be proud of.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We always worked with very good ideas. We showed, when we had the ball, that we had a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow to create danger. The players on the bench came on and once again helped the final performance.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
