Just ten days before the opening of the 2010 South Africa Shijie Cup European Qualifiers, the Portuguese Football Federation finally held a press conference to announce who the new coach of the Portuguese national team is!

This man is a Portuguese national, he is still somewhat well-known in European football, and he is also well-known in England, his name is Manuel 61 Queiroz.

Yes, he is an assistant to Manchester United manager Alex 61 Alex Ferguson and an assistant to Red Devils coach Queiroz.

The 50-year-old Manuel 61 Queiroz was born in Mozambique and is known as the godfather of the "Golden Generation". His playing career was uneventful and didn't make much of an impression. But when he joined the Portuguese Football Federation in 1978 to develop young people, people gradually discovered his ability in this area.

The most commendable aspect of Queiroz's coaching career has been his achievements as head coach of the Portugal national youth team. In 1989 and 1991, he led the Portuguese youth team to the World Youth Championship twice, and under his leadership, many superstars such as Luis 61 Figo, Rui 61 Costa, Paulo 61 Sousa, Baia, Couto, etc., Queiroz's disciples are also known as the "Golden Generation". In 1991, Queiroz rightfully became the coach of the Portuguese national team. In 1994, he was dismissed for leading Portugal to Italy in the Shijie Cup qualifiers.

Since then, Queiroz has taken charge of club teams, but has not achieved particularly outstanding results. He coached Sporting Lisbon, New York Subway Stars and Nagoya Whales, won the FA Cup and a runner-up finish, and won the Emperor's Cup and the J-League runners-up in 1997 during his tenure with Nagoya Whales.

From 1998 to 1999, he coached with the UAE national team, also without success. In 2002, Queiroz led South Africa to the Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, but was later sacked due to the team's poor record at the Africa Cup of Nations. At the beginning of July 2002, Queiroz accepted an offer from Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson to become an assistant coach at Manchester United. On 25 June 2003, Queiroz succeeded Bosque as the new manager of Real Madrid.

However, Queiroz was also unsuccessful at Real Madrid, and Zuihou returned to Manchester United to continue as an assistant to Alex 61 Alex Ferguson.

In Alex 61's view for Alex 61 Ferguson, Queiroz was instrumental in Manchester United's runners-up finish in the league and Champions League, as well as the FA Cup in England last season. When he learned that Portugal had approached Queiroz, he asked the Manchester United management to do everything possible to keep Queiroz.

And emotionally speaking, Alex 61 Ferguson is also reluctant to let Queiroz go, he and Queiroz have worked together for many years, and the two have a very tacit understanding. Moreover, Alex 61 Ferguson also sees Queiroz as his successor.

Alex 61 Ferguson had intended to stay in the position for another two or three years before stepping down and handing United over to their assistant Queiroz. Because Queiroz has been by his side for a long time, both of them have similar ideas and tactics, and he believes that Queiroz is his most haode successor.

So, Alex 61 Ferguson very much hopes that Queiroz will stay. And when retaining Queiroz, Alex 61 Ferguson also told Queiroz his idea, but in the end, Queiroz chose to leave.

Queiroz doesn't really want to be anyone's assistant, he wants to be the head coach of the team, which can be seen from Queiroz's resume.

The Portuguese national team is so attractive to Queiroz that he can't refuse. Also, the future is really uncertain, who knows if there will be a talented coach in the future, and at that time, he Queiroz will still be able to stay at Manchester United?

Now that the opportunity to be a manager is at hand, what else is there to consider succeeding Ferguson in the future? And the current Portuguese national team players have good ability, good strength, and have a great chance of success. After a year or two, he Queiroz became a Shijie champion coach.

Moreover, the Portuguese Football Federation's offer of an annual salary to Queiroz also made it difficult for Queiroz to refuse, and the Portuguese Football Federation offered Queiroz an annual salary of 1.3 million euros.

After considering all this, Queiroz refused the retention of Comrade Alex 61 Ferguson and resolutely chose the Portuguese national team, so Manuel 61 Queiroz became the new head coach of the Portuguese national team.

The first task now in front of Manuel 61 Queiroz is the Shijie Cup European qualifiers, or it may well be a litmus test. If Queiroz leads the team to a good result, then Queiroz will continue to stay in this position, and if the Portuguese national team fails in the group stage, then Queiroz will inevitably be sacked.

Queiroz has just taken over the team and is facing a big game, which is a real test. There's no time for Queiroz to consolidate his squad and practice a new style of play. Now that the big tournament is coming, the Portuguese national team can only play according to the tactics of the Scolari period, and then integrate the squad after getting the quota first.

Therefore, this time the players recruited by the Portuguese national team are the same as the previous Portuguese national team, and Qiu Ze is of course also on the list of call-ups, so after this match with Manchester United, Qiu Ze returned to Portugal and went to report to the Portuguese national team.

The Portuguese national team will play a total of two matches during the national break, starting with their away game against Malta, the weakest team in the group. Malta are the weakest in this group, they are almost the role of accompanying the prince to study, and there should be no suspense for the Portuguese national team to win them.

In this second match, the Portuguese national team will face Denmark at their home stadium, the Danish team is not very strong, and of course they are not a weak team. And Denmark has also created a Danish fairy tale, this is a team that has created miracles, and the Portuguese national team cannot take it lightly.

This time, Queiroz was a member of the Portuguese national team that was fully recruited to win the European championship, and there was no change in any personnel.

The Portuguese national team's training base is in Lisbon, and their home stadium is at Sporting Lisbon's, so Qiu Ze returned to Lisbon. However, he did not go home because there was no time and the team had a rule that at this time, the players of the team could not go out at will and had to stay with the team.

After two days of training in Lisbon, the Portuguese national team flew to Malta for the first match of the Shijie Cup European qualifiers. For this first match, of course, the Portuguese national team attaches great importance to it, and everyone starts with a haode.

In this first round of matches, the Portuguese national team plays Malta away, Sweden plays Albania away and Hungary plays Denmark at home.

After coming to Malta, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Queiroz, made it clear that the players of the Portuguese national team should put away their contempt and must treat their opponents as if they were a team of the same level, and they could not afford to lose this game.

Yes, Queiroz can't afford to lose this game. If even this opponent loses, then Queiroz will face a lot of pressure.

In this game, Queiroz was the main force in the game, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo appeared in the starting lineup at the same time. At the beginning of the game, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo was very excited, and seemed to have a lot of energy in his heart, and he had to compete with Qiu Zebi.

Just five minutes into the first half, the Portuguese national team scored a goal, and it was Cristiano 61 Ronaldo who scored.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo received a pass from Bosingwa at the back, and he immediately attacked the Maltese defence with the ball at high speed. In terms of personal strength, Malta is too far behind the players of the Portuguese national team, not to mention Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, a guy who is very good at personal jishu.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo almost single-handedly blew up Malta's wide defense, then went into the penalty area and scored the ball directly into Malta's goal with a direct volley, 1-0.

Seeing his team take the lead, Queiroz's nervousness was finally relieved, and it was only by this time that Queiroz was able to complete the game.

In the nineteenth minute of the first half of the game, Qiu Ze, the midfielder of the Portuguese national team, was at the edge of the Maltese penalty area and Joao 61 Moutinho after a series of one-two, and pulled the football into the Maltese goal, 2-0.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Quaresma, a wide player of the Portuguese national team, suddenly cut inside after receiving the ball, and then volleyed directly at the edge of the penalty area, and after the football drew an arc, it flew into the Maltese goal, 3-0.

By this time, the game was actually over and Malta had already lost the game. But the goal wasn't over yet.

In the tenth minute of the second half, the Portuguese national team got a direct free kick opportunity, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo sent the football into the Maltese goal with a direct lift kick, 4-0.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo was not very excited after scoring the goal, but he turned his head to look at Qiu Ze defiantly, as if to say that Lao Tzu is always better than you.

However, just five minutes later, Qiu Ze also scored, this time from a corner kick of the Portuguese national team. Joao 61 Moutinho drove a corner into the Maltese penalty area, but the ball was headed out by the Maltese centre-backs.

However, the ball flew to Qiu Ze at the front of the big penalty area, Qiu Ze did not stop the ball, and directly met the ball at the front of the big penalty area, and came with a volley, the football shot like lightning to the Maltese goal, the Maltese goalkeeper did not react, and the football smashed into the goal.

Five to 0, it was the score of the game, and the Portuguese national team got off to a good start, which was also the first win for Queiroz after returning to the Portuguese national team, where Queiroz got off to a good start.

Of course, the main thing is that the opponents of the Portuguese national team are too weak to pose a threat to Portugal, which does not test anything? Whoever is the manager will be the manager, and the Portuguese national team will win this game.

Queiroz is not recognized by everyone now, and everyone is still in the stage of doubt. Queiroz also knew that it didn't mean much, and he was just getting on the road.

The other two matches in the group came to an end at the end of the Portugal and Malta matches, with Albania holding a 0-0 draw at home to a strong Sweden side in a good performance. Hungary, like Albania, also put in a good performance, drawing 0-0 with Denmark at their home turf.
