Scolari optimistic about Portugal in EURO 2008

Scolari is a very famous coach and he has coached the Brazilian national team to win world cup. Scolari recently said that Portugal had good chance in doing well in EURO 2008. It should be noted that Portugal is playing against Turkey in the opening day of EURO 2008. In the last few years, Portugal has become a very strong contender in European football. In fact in last EURO, Portugal almost won the championship but lost in the final to Greece and was runners up. This time many Portuguese fans are eager to see their team do better and become the champion. Well, in the recent days, they did not perform so well in friendly matches against Italy and Greece. In fact, they lost both the matches. This bad performance has not made Scolari pessimistic. In fact, he is upbeat about the prospect of Portugal in EURO 2008. He thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a key player for EURO 2008. Ronaldo has been in top form in Manchester United this season and he is currently the highest goal scorer in English Premier League. So, let us see if Scolari’s prediction becomes true in EURO 2008.
