The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss claims that the Seleccao can win silverware this summer because they have the right coach, who can lead them to victory.
Portugal started the European Championships with an uncertain loss at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904, which led many to believe that the Navigators would be unable to go past the group stage.
And against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 Bento’s men and ensured that they keep their hopes of qualification
alive.
While the result was a pivotal one for the Portuguese, skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 had not risen to the occasion. The Real Madrid man was coming off a superb campaign with the Whites but his displays for his country were underwhelming to say the least.
However against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882,
whom they beat in the quarter-final with a familiar name back on the score sheet.
After securing their place in the semi-final, Bento and his troops await the arrival of either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, with La Roja the obvious favourites.
Although faced with a tough task in the final stages, Andre Villas-Boas has backed his nation to bring the trophy citing the presence of a sound tactician as the major factor behind his prediction.
"There has been an evolution after every match. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 have the right coach,” he said.
"Yesterday, we took another decisive step and we have every chance to win the tournament,” the trainer was quoted as saying.
Having been runners-up in 2004, the Portuguese would surely relish the opportunity to conquer silverware this time around and given how they combated their adversaries in the last two games, few would bet against them coming out on top, especially given
the presence of the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now, though, they take a deserved rest and eagerly anticipate who comes out on top in the quarter-final matchup between the French and the Spanish.
