Roberto Martínez, the head coach of the Portuguese national football team, is facing severe backlash from the media after Portugal's disappointing exit from the World Cup. The team was eliminated by Spain in the Round of 16, and many commentators have expressed their frustration over the team's performance and Martínez's decisions.

Prominent Portuguese newspaper Público criticized the team for appearing to take a 'nap' during the match, suggesting that their lack of urgency contributed to their downfall. The sentiment was echoed by other outlets, with A Bola highlighting Martínez's questionable substitutions compared to the effective changes made by Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, which ultimately led to Spain's victory.

Expressing disappointment, the newspaper Expresso remarked on Portugal's poor showing in the tournament and called for lessons to be learned for future competitions. Correio da Manhã lamented the end of Portugal's World Cup journey, describing it as the 'end of the dream' against their neighboring rivals.

Jornal de Notícias also reflected on the heartbreaking nature of the loss, noting that Portugal's hopes were dashed in the final moments of the match. The criticism extended beyond Portugal, with international media outlets like L'Equipe and Bild discussing the implications of the defeat, particularly focusing on Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional response to the loss.

As the dust settles on this World Cup campaign, the Portuguese team and its coach face a critical period of reflection and rebuilding ahead of future tournaments.
