Ireland are in Portugal, preparing for Tuesday's friendly clash in Aveiro
Jake O'Brien was tasked with keeping Kylian Mbappé quiet a fortnight ago, so he is ready for anything Cristiano Ronaldo throws at him on Tuesday.
“Of course,” beamed the 23-year-old, who made his senior Ireland debut as a half-time substitute in Tuesday’s friendly win over Hungary. Fourth favourites for the trophy, they face Ireland in their final warm-up game in Aveiro with O’Brien in the frame to start as Shane Duffy nurses a calf injury. “I like to take things as they come. Big moments like , playing under pressure, is what I like to do.”
“It’s about being patient and you’ll get your chance,” said O’Brien. “It was very important to stick with it at club level to get my chance in this window. “He's been a great coach to be around, to learn from. Not even that but he's just a great guy to come to, to talk about things.
