Siena's Gonçalo Brandão played 90 minutes in Portugal 2-0 South Africa, March 31, 2009. One of the 3 surprises in the list obviously gained Queiroz's confidence. Hope to see him play in Siena this weekend.
Siena held its second day of training with a double training session for the next game---. Brandao has returned but will start training tomorrow, Thursday April 2, 2009. Siena play a friendly tomorrow against Monteriggioni
Brandão said in Portuguese in the the post-game interview: "I think it was a positive result. I played 90 minutes and Portugal won. I played as a left-back; a position I never played at Siena. I hope to return to the national team and be an alternative. It was very important for us to win by 2-0."
(Acho que foi positivo, pois joguei os 90 minutos e Portugal ganhou. Joguei a lateral esquerdo, posição a que nem sempre jogo no Siena. Espero voltar à selecção e continuar a ser aposta. Foi muito importante termos vencido 2-0)
