After Portugal's national team defeated the United States 2-0, head coach Roberto Martinez expressed satisfaction with the team's overall performance and said the match would help test new tactical ideas.

Roberto Martinez said: "There is no doubt that this training camp had multiple objectives, and I am very satisfied with the achievement of all of them. The focus of the training camp was not to win, but to explore new tactical ideas and solutions. I am delighted with the team's performance on the field."

“I think we played better in the second half of both games. As I mentioned in March, we need more games to adjust, gel, and build better cohesion. We have improved compared to the game against Mexico. The US team is fast-paced and physically strong, which is very helpful for our preparation, especially against non-European teams.”

Francisco Trincão said after the match: "People often say that the head coach has a headache because Portugal has many excellent players. But ultimately, it is up to him to decide who is best suited for the World Cup. The training environment and travel arrangements are also important. We know that the World Cup involves a lot of travel and requires adapting to different venues and time zones. These training camps are precisely to adapt to such situations in advance. Of course, we are also very happy to win the game."

Thomas Araujo said, "The first half was a bit difficult, and the rhythm of the game was somewhat fragmented. But as we had more possession, we finally scored. Overall, we controlled the game, and we performed even better in the second half. The team's coordination is becoming more and more seamless, and although many players were playing together for the first time, they are gradually adapting. In the second game, we played more easily and freely."

Finally, Ricardo Velíu said: "Every opportunity to play is precious, and I am grateful to be a part of it. This is a highlight of my playing career, and I feel incredibly proud. Even if I didn't play, being a member of the team is an honor, and I am grateful for everything I have gained in life. The competition for the goalkeeper position is fierce, and we have many excellent goalkeepers, but I will do my best to contribute to the team. Most importantly, Portugal won, and we can celebrate together."
