If it's not Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, it's Deco going to Inter probably, Moutinho to Barca, Carvalho with Jose..... Transfer Transfer Transfer.
Do the reporters know that Portugal was the 1st team to qualify to the quarter finals? Not to mention scored 5 goals in its 1st 2 euro 2008 games! How many did Italy score in its 1st 2 games? 1 How many goals did France score? 1.

Anyway, I'm glad Nuno Gomes firmly said no more.
In yesterday's press conference he announced:
About Scolari as new Chelsea manager:
About Scolari as new Chelsea manager:
"It was decided among the players that we will no longer talk about this. What had to be said was already said. The players are here concentrated and the manager too."
About the team spirit:
"the environment is the same, all calm."
About Scolari as manager: "He's a friendly manager with the players, with great human qualities. A good psychologist, which for us is good."
The legend Eusebio had said a few days earlier what many observers are saying- that Portugal needs strikers "um ponta-de-lança a sério." Of course, the press asked striker Nuno Gomes what he thought about that. Nuno Gomes diplomatically avoided commenting on that and instead praised Eusebio:
"Eusébio is the "king", the best, was the best in the world. He's my friend. Modern soccer is different from the time when he was playing. It was a conversation topic, of pranks with him, so there aren't any problems. I would have liked Eusebio to play next to me but...."Here's the video where he praised Eusebio and answered that question about Eusebio saying Portubal needs strikers:
About the Switzerland - Portugal euro 2008 quarterfinal game:
"We won't hide that that's on our minds, but tomorrow's game we won't want to miss it. The team that goes on the pitch will play to do a good job."
"Our 1st objective was achieved and in this moment every team will be difficult. Everything that will come will be fine but our objective is to get to the final. First we'll be concentrated on who our opponent is in the quarter-final, that we need to go through in order to get to the final."
About facing Germany:
"In Euro 2004, to get to the final we needed to beat England and the Netherlands. In the World Cup, the same thing happened. There are always great teams. We don't fear anyone that we'll have to play."
About tomorrow's starting lineup:
"The team that will go on tomorrow will go on with the same determination of the previous games. The players are here because they have quality and they will give their best."
-What did you think of his statements?
