UEFA under 21: do or die against England.
Comments(9)
Next Friday (18h00 GMT) our under 21 team faces England at home (Barcelos). Third in the qualifying group anything but a victory has them watching the 2011 UEFA European Under 21 championship from the comfort of their couch. If we win, we take over for England as group runner-up and provided we win the last game (September 7th) against Macedonia we could end up as one of the 4 best runner-ups out of 10 groups. Nothing is certain.
An added bonus of the upcoming matches is the chance to have a closer look at Tiago Correia (aka Bebe), Manchester United’s surprise signing. His name has been on many lips and although he isn’t new to the nation’s youth teams, he is a complete unknown to most of us. In fact the first call he got from the FPF was to integrate a training course with the under 20 last November. He repeated the experience in March this year. When the final list was made to call the under 20 Selecção, to compete in the Viseu International Tournament in May this year, his name was dropped because he didn’t have a club!! Can you believe it? From no club to Manchester United in 3 months! A small stop at Vitoria de Guimaraes earned them a whopping 10 million Euros. We live in a mad mad world. I wonder if he will impress Oceano enough to make the starting eleven. During his first training session yesterday he scored 3 goals and got all his team mates to applaud the last. Apparently something frickin awesome!
