Portugal U-16 Euro champs
BRUSSELS. May 7: Portugal A ’ their fifth major j youth soccer title
In a half dozen years Saturday, beating Spain 2-0 in the final of the under-16 European, Championship, reports AP Zeferino Soares, named tlie outstanding player-of-the tournament, scored one of his six goals In the two-week event to lead Portugal.
Capitalising on two blunders from error-prone Spanish goalkeeper Joaquin Moeo. Zeferino and Miguel Vargas scored tn the second-half to give Portugal the title in front of 4.000 fans
'Now we will continue to work with the young and progress with them." coach Rui Manuel Cacador said. In five years we can be very, very good at the highest level."
"Now they are coming." UEFA president Lennart Johansson said. "You Just wafch them."
Since 1989. Portugal have
twice won the under-20 World Championship with coach * Carlos Querlos Add to that the under-16 European title In 1989 and the under'18 European Championship last year, and many wonder why the senior international side can't win a major title.
Portugal's brightest hour came in 1966. when Eusebio led the .team to the third place in the World Cup. They also reached the semifinals of the 1984 European Championship, but their last noteworthy feat was a threat to strike during the 1986 World Cup ahead of an early exit.
Cacador blames inefficient funds to follow up talent and a glut »f foreign players in the domestic league for the national team's misery.
Of the players who were on Portugal s last team to win the U-20 World championship, only two now play in the Portuguese First Division. Cacador said.
Until two years ago. there
were few restrictions on Brazilian players in the Portuguese league and little homegrown talent could develop. Over 100 foreigners flooded the league and. with only three big clubs in the country — Porto. Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, too much talent withered early.
"Precious few of our best players could reach the first team, so they Just didn't get a chance." Cacador said.
And. even with a reputation as superb technicians. Portugal too often relied on dour defense.
"At the top level, they played too negatively, too destructively." said famed former Dutch coach Rinus Michels.
"Now we will try to play more offensively." said Cacador. It was evident in Saturday s final. Even with a comfortable lead. Portugal kept Spain pinned on their own half for most the second half are created a flurry of chances.
