Bosnia coach Safet Susic congratulates http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 for making it to the European championships – Report
Bosnia & Herzegovina coach, Safet Susic, has congratulated Portugal for making to next year’s European championships. The Seleccao brushed aside the Dragons at Estadio da Luz and achieved their qualification in style with a 6-2 score line, a win which the
tactician claims that the opposition fully deserved.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629’s men came off a dreadful performance in Bosnia and could only blame themselves for not coming to the magnificent Stadium of Light with an away goal.
Bosnia’s defence had stood firm at Bilino Polje Stadium but crumbled in Lisbon last night at Paulo Bento’s side fired six past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Asmir-Begovic-c6841.
The home side started the game in emphatic fashion and had already gone 2-0 up with only 25 minutes on the clock. Skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 added to his side’s
tally with an equally sensational strike.
While the visitors were on the back foot during the majority of the first half, they were given a vital lifeline when Misimovic successfully converted a penalty, which resulted from a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao handball in the box.
After the breather however, the Navigators once again found the back of the net through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734, who showed what he is really capable of after a disappointing performance in the first leg.
Although the match was still not out of Bosnia’s reach, there was no doubt who would come out on top after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senad-Lulic-c32887 received his marching orders following his second yellow card.
Despite being down to 10 men, the Golden Lilies netted their second of the game, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emir-Spahic-c12523 applying the finish after nearly 60 minutes.
Portugal then showed their considerable attacking strength by hammering the side completely and took the score-line up to 6-2, with Postiga netting a brace and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Veloso-c35977 also getting in on the act.
Although his team were thoroughly outclassed by the hosts, Bosnia’s Safet Susic congratulated his opponents for achieving qualification and insisted that they deserved to be playing in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 next year.
Speaking to reporters, the tactician said that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 Bento’s side were ahead of his team in terms of speed and ability and revealed that he was not disappointed with how the Zmajevi had played.
"The Portuguese were faster and all-round better than us. I want to congratulate Portugal for their passage to Euro 2012. They were far better than us and I want to wish them luck. I do not regret the way we played, even though we were much better in the
first game last week,” Safet Susic was quoted as saying.
Having been unceremoniously dumped out of contention for a place in next year’s European championships, Bosnia have missed out on another great opportunity to make it on the big stage and it remains to be seen whether Safet Susic retains his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
