It wasn't a great game full of wonderful moments, but it was a hard-earned victory in which we attained our objective, so I'm content with the result", explained the softly-spoken assistant Coach. Centre-back Bruno Alves was over the moon "It was a great game, one of those where you remember the play clearly because everybody was so focused on winning – and especially because it was my first goal for the national side", explained the FC Porto defender, one of Scolari's newer incorporations. Another player who felt the special nature was a Miguel Veloso who played his debut game at absolute level. "The shirt that I wore is going straight to my parents as I'm obviously very proud of starting my Seleccao career, although I still could play for the Under-21s if needed – my country's needs are paramount", he beamed. Hugo Almeida, who scored the second, was also smiling in the wake of the win. "I did feel butterflies in the stomach as it was my first time as a starter for the Seleccao", explained the man who came on for Nuno Gomes in the warm-up, "but that went as the adrenalin started and I couldn't be happier." --
