position in this Euro 2008 ? By the way 14 more days!!!!! The "young guns" from Sporting Lisboa, Joao Moutinho and Miguel Veloso are bound to be starting.
Here's a picture of him from yesterday's light training, next to the other Brasilian born player, central defender Pepe:
I'm asking you because today in the pre-training press conference Deco faced the media. His starting position was in the minds of the reporters. Here's how he responded to the competition from the 2 young guns:
It's good for the national team (selecção) to have young players like Miguel and Moutinho, young players with quality. They are the future of the national team but also the present. It's good to have competition and we're prepared for it.
Regarding the physical shape he's in right now:
This year I played less because of injuries. They're weren't too serious but I missed almost 2 months for each one. But I didn't have any serious problem.
And the most important question for the Portugal national team fans. Asked whether he thought Portugal can win the UEFA EURO 2008:
It's possible... It's a dream for everyone. We're going to do everything to be in the final and win the UEFA EURO 2008 (Europeu). It's not easy but we're going to work for it.
