We lost today because we didn't play particularly well in previous matches either. We need to play better than our opponent to win, we didn't deserve to win today. If we continue to play the same way, we are unlikely to get through to the next round. The absence of Fernandes? Bruno played in the last match, but the team didn't play well with him either. We were winning and pretended that everything was fine. We have problems in the team, the head coach should understand that and make appropriate adjustments. Santos has to make some changes.

"We shouldn't have lost to South Korea. In a way, I was surprised by the loss because South Korea is a different level of team compared to Portugal. But we didn't play well enough, they deserved to win today," Barbosa told Telecom Asia Sport.
