-the conquest of the Euro by Portugal:
“Portugal since 2000, we see that it reaches, and in the semi-finals, reached the final in 2004, where we beat them two times in that event. Showed that now was the time. From the beginning of the event showed a team that was hard to win, but also difficult to win. In the school of UEFA Pro in Rhodes, we analyzed all the groups. Portugal had a solid set, had Ροναλντο-kit, but seemed to have a stability. From the moment we passed the first phase and were shaped by the intersections had more tractable opponents to get away in contrast with France, Spain, Germany or Italy, who have had harder games, teams-favorite”.
-the departure of Ronaldo injury:
“A coach has to be prepared for everything. Even in that unfortunate moment that was Christiano in the first 20 minutes, even if he tried to continue. What he has achieved in Portugal was to keep the style game and with a compact defensive layout, well-enclosed areas and luck has not allowed France to score. In all the games of Portugal, the player they were looking for more teammates was Christiano. With his absence freed his teammates and took more initiatives. Players such as Joao Mario, Renato Sanchez, the ΚουαÏÎσμα or Nani took on more responsibilities, while not broken, the formation of Portugal”.
-the change of the Ender:
“He wanted to refresh his offensive line. It was expected France to spend more and wanted a player to keep the ball and to help Portugal out of the race. The presence of the Ender began to bother the shortstop of France, holds them back and gives you a brace and breathing to the rest of the players of Portugal. We saw a standup thing, σεντεÏφοÏίσιο goals of the Ender, who took the ball away from the hearth, took the stage on top of it and not having other studs shoot from far away. Don’t forget that he’s a player who plays in France and this plays a role in self-confidence”.
– the rest of the players of Portugal who singled out the same:
“For me, they did a sensational game Pepe and Fonte. For me key player was William ΚαÏβάλιο, who really in the center of it was the player who stopped every aggressive attempt of his opponents. With that he was retrieving the ball, playing the ball in front of him, he was playing with the defensive foursome and made the development of the group”.
– the EPO and the departure of Santos after the world Cup of Brazil:
“To say a big well done to a man of our own, I had the good fortune to work with him to AEK. A coach who works and doesn’t work in luck. It may not be attractive football playing teams, but they give you security. It’s one of us, after working so many years here. If I had to stay the Santos or the Ranieri who went to Lester, talking of odd-numbered the successes. We can take as an example the 2004, all of those 12 years, what has not been done in terms of organization and management of such a success. It was a bit expected those coaches followed him Ρεχάγκελ, who wanted to give something attractive and fatal I continued on the Highway. Inevitably you end up where you end up and the results came in it was tragic”.
