Remarkable comeback Portugal's chances of reaching next summer's finals in the Netherlands looked slim after they lost the first leg of the play-off 4-1 in Moscow, but strikes from Joao Moutinho and Yannick Djalo and an own goal from Ivan Taranov saw Couceiro's side win 3-0 and progress on away goals. "I was worried that Russia would get a goal after we got our third one but that was never really close to happening," said the coach. "I think we were the better team if you analyse both games of the play-off. Russia have a more experienced team but we deserved to qualify." 葡萄牙晉級到明年夏天在荷蘭舉行的決賽圈的機會在莫斯科1-4的慘敗後看似微乎其微， 但是Joao Moutinho、Yannick Djalo的進球和Ivan Taranov的烏龍球使葡萄牙3-0取勝， 最後葡萄牙就以那一粒客場進球晉級。 教練說：「我原本擔心俄羅斯可能在我們領先3球後進球，不過他們沒有什麼機會。 我認為我們是表現比較好的球隊，如果你有對附加賽的兩回合比賽都進行分析。 俄羅斯是一支很有經驗的球隊，但是我們理應晉級。」 Past achievements Reaching the finals will spark hope that the current Portuguese crop will match the star-studded squad that won the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship. "I have to congratulate my players," said Couceiro. "This team has what it takes to succeed in the future. Now we will try to finish in the top four in the finals in the Netherlands." Goalscorer Joao Moutinho was also ecstatic with the outcome of the play-off. "We never stopped believing that we could qualify," he said. "The team did an outstanding job and now we can celebrate." Defender Miguel Veloso said that his side had been through "hard days following our defeat in the first game", but concluded: "tonight we could have scored even more goals". 打進決賽圈讓人再度對他們能否和1991年贏得世青賽的那批球員們匹敵燃起希望。 Couceiro說：「我必須恭賀我的球員們，這支隊伍擁有在將來取得成功的能力。 現在我們會盡力打進明年在荷蘭舉行的決賽圈的前4名。」 Joao Moutinho也對附加賽的結果非常高興： 「我們從未停止相信我們能夠晉級！ 球隊完成了一件了不起的任務，現在我們可以慶祝了。」 後衛Miguel Veloso則是說球隊已經越過「在第一回合比賽失利後的那些艱難日子」了， 但是他也補充說：「原本我們可以在今晚進更多球的。」 ===== 還是恭喜！明年也要更加油*^^* --
