Pequim sem Portugal

Portugal foi esta Quinta Feira derrotado pela Itália, na decisão por grandes penalidades, depois de um empate a zero bolas no final do prolongamento. Com Portugal a falhar duas grandes penalidades, a Selecção lusa não estará em 2008 em Pequim, ocupando os italianos a última vaga ainda em aberto para as selecções europeias.

O jogo foi sempre equilibrado, com poucas oportunidades de parte a parte, com ambas as equipas a respeitarem o adversário. Portugal alinhou com Varela e Vaz Té bem abertos na frente de ataque, com os jogadores a tentarem movimentar-se com o objectivo de provocar desequilíbrios no último reduto transalpino.

Manuel Fernandes tentava pautar o jogo ofensivo português, com variações de jogo efectuadas com precisão. Rossi, que poderá ser uma das opções no negócio Anderson entre o FC Porto e o Manchester United, teve uma excelente oportunidade depois de uma «arrancada» a que Paulo Ribeiro se opôs com valentia.

Já no segundo tempo o mesmo Rossi viu o segundo cartão amarelo, após protestos, mas Portugal não tirou particulares dividendos de tal facto. O jogo correu até ao minuto 90 sem alteração no marcador, o mesmo sucedendo no prolongamento, apesar de Portugal ter estado mais forte neste período, destacando-se uma claríssima oportunidade de golo desperdiçada por Djaló.

A decisão da última equipa europeia a ser apurada para os Jogos Olímpicos teve que ser encontrada com recurso a pontapés de grande penalidade, onde a sorte sorriu aos comandados de Casiraghi, depois de Manuel Fernandes ter permitido a defesa ao guarda redes Viviano, e de Antunes ter rematado ao lado da baliza transalpina.

José Couceiro: “De cabeça levantada mas tristes”
O seleccionador nacional de sub-21, José Couceiro, não estava naturalmente satisfeito com o afastamento de Portugal dos Jogos Olímpicos’2008. O técnico nacional, que continuará no cargo, segundo o presidente da Federação, Gilberto Madail, disse no final do encontro com os transalpinos que “saímos de cabeça erguida mas tristes”. “Fizemos um bom jogo, mesmo quando as duas equipas estavam com onze jogadores fomos superiores. A Itália defendeu-se bem. Enfim, não conseguimos o nosso objectivo, que era o apuramento para os Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim”, sintetizou José Couceiro.

Nani: “Fomos infelizes”
Nani foi um dos melhores elementos da Selecção Nacional de sub-21 esta noite frente à Itália, num jogo em que Portugal ficou afastado dos Jogos Olímpicos’2008. “Fomos infelizes neste encontro. Estivemos sempre em cima deles, mas não conseguimos marcar. Só nos faltou mesmo marcar um golo e oportunidades para tal não faltaram. Agora há que levantar a cabeça”, disse o jovem que vai jogar no Manchester United. Sobre o seu novo clube, Nani não se alongou muito. “Para já quero descansar, porque na próxima época vou ter muito trabalho”, concluiu o jovem ex-leão.

Itália vence Portugal nos penáltis e apura-se para Pequim’2008
Ainda não foi desta que a Selecção Nacional de sub-21 conseguiu vencer a Itália, perdendo nos penáltis, por 4-3, pelo que será a equipa transalpina estar nos Jogos Olímpicos’2008. Portugal dominou quase todo o encontro, ainda que a Itália também tenha tido um período de predominância, no início da segunda parte. De resto só deu Portugal, principalmente a partir do momento em que Rossi viu o segundo cartão amarelo, e o consequente vermelho, aos 76’. A partir daí os italianos só pensaram em defender, o que fizeram com mestria, diga-se. No entanto, no prolongamento, Portugal dispôs de duas excelentes oportunidades para ganhar: primeiro por Moutinho, de cabeça, ao lado; depois por Yannick Djaló, muito bem lançado por João Moutinho, que falhou, atirando para fora apenas com o guarda-redes Viviano pela frente. Nos penáltis, os italianos marcaram quatro e Portugal três, falhando dois, por Manuel Fernandes e por Antunes.

Couceiro was ok by Scolari, not going to be fire, anytime soon,
he only had one year to work with the team, when others have 5, on top of it, they gave him the U 21 and U 20, its a learning process
some of this players are leftovers from the previous coach, the one last season the parade with the trophy thru the cities of Portugal

Maybe were not so Great afterall, Rui.

I can tell you my worste fear is that Portugal will be a team with so much talent but nothin to showforth by means of titles.

Italy & France have our number, I don't know why but we have Ingerlands as well. It Just comes down to coaching, We have a lousy system in place.

If the team that played against Isreal showed up, We would have a dynasty.

Manuel da Costa feels Portugal were robbed


Da Costa: Portugal deserved better

Defender Manuel da Costa said Portugal "deserved to go the Olympic Games, not Italy" after a penalty shoot-out defeat in Nijmegen denied them a trip to Beijing.

Unhappy statistics
The fifth-placed play-off at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship gave both sides a chance to claw back some pride after disappointing performances in the group stage here. But Portugal failed to take advantage and despite having an extra man for the final 15 minutes and 57 per cent of the possession, they were unable to score with any of their 16 shots on goal as 120 minutes of football ended goalless.

'That's football'
"We knew we would play like this - we need to have the ball," said the PSV Eindhoven defender. "We showed we deserved to go the Olympic Games, not Italy. Today, it's the team that deserved it the least that won. Sometimes it's like this, sometimes it's not. That's football." A 4-3 defeat on penalties prolonged Portugal's unwanted record of never having eliminated Italy at U21 level.

Strong finish
José Couceiro's team ended the tournament much better than they started it, beating Israel 4-0 in their final Group A game before facing Italy. "In these two games we played better than any other team in this competition," said Da Costa, who missed the end of the match through injury. "If we had played like this from the start we would have qualified for the Olympics a long time ago."

Knee injury
Italy were reduced to ten men with Giuseppe Rossi's 74th minute dismissal and Da Costa was soon a casualty for Portugal, being taken off injured after 85 minutes. "It's the knee injury I suffered from at PSV," he said. "It was already hurting during the warm-up and I felt it through the whole game. The medical staff didn't want to take risks but I would have gone on to help my team-mates."

Rest cure
Now, Da Costa is hoping to earn a place in the Portuguese senior national team as he looks to put U21 disappointment behind him. "I want to go UEFA EURO 2008™ - that's my goal," he said. "But that will only happen if I play regularity for my club. I am still young and I can gain experience. This season I want to be a champion and to go a long way in the UEFA Champions League." For now, he is hoping for a holiday. "I will now rest, have fun at the beach with some friends and do what it takes to empty my head before the new season."
