In fact, according to the physician's comments in Marienfeld, Germany, Luis Felipe Scolari's men are in better shape than they were before their UEFA EURO 2004 campaign. According to team spokesmen and medical staff, the slight knee injury that striker Pauleta sustained after scoring a hat-trick in the 27 May win over the Cape Verde Islands, was nothing more than a short-lived scare. Pauleta, Portugal's all-time top scorer, is a key part of a squad almost completely in tip-top shape and he will be aiming to find the net again when the EURO 2004 finalists open their Germany 2006 account against Group D rivals Angola in Cologne. "The medical analysis of the team has gone very well and no players are in any trouble or harbouring any worrying injuries," said Dr Campos. "The training sessions are getting tougher and the players are all responding well and looking to be prepared for the first match." Dr Campos added that the level of fitness in the Portuguese camp far exceeded that which he witnessed on the eve of the EURO 2004 competition two summers ago. "After the medical examinations it seems the majority of the team is in better shape than before the European Championship, and this is a good sign." Two exceptions to the rosy prognosis were Benfica striker Nuno Gomes, Pauleta's likely back-up, and Fulham midfielder Luis Boa Morte who joined up with the team late. Both are currently undergoing their own separate training regimes in an attempt to catch up with the rest of the squad ahead of their all-important opener on 11 June. ● Fans out in force Portuguese and German fans alike were invited to view the team's fitness work at first hand as the Selecao held an open training session on Monday afternoon. With over 12,000 spectators packing themselves into the team's practice ground, the afternoon had more the feeling of a cup final than a mere preparatory training session as supporters applauded the players' every move. The scenes at the training pitch were merely an extension of the carnival atmosphere produced when the players arrived at the Munster/Osnabruck Airport on Sunday afternoon. In addition to the throngs that turned out to greet them, the final miles of their coach ride to the team hotel turned into a virtual motorcade parade as supporters trailed the bus on motorbikes and in cars, waving Portuguese flags with pride. Just six days before facing Angola, these shows of support can only help the mood of Scolari and his players as they prepare to try and match, or even better, the semi-final appearance Eusebio and Co achieved in England in 1966 – the only other time Portugal have participated in a FIFA World Cup on European soil. 组图：http://tinyurl.com/frwwk http://tinyurl.com/fxl9h http://tinyurl.com/zqb34 -- ◢／ ◢ ／ hyde + ken + tetsu + yukihiro ◢ ／ █ ☆ ███ ███◤ █ █ █／█ █ █ ███ ███ ███ █ █ ███ █ █／ ／ ███ ██ █ █ █▅█ █ █ █ █／ ／ ▅ █▅█ █ ███◤ █◤█◤ █ ███ █▅▅ █ █ ███◤ █ █▅▅ █ --
