We’ll play the Portoguese way, says Queiroz

Coach Carlos Queiroz is confident 2009 will be a good year for Portugal, but as they attempt to make up for lost points in FIFA World Cup qualifying – starting against Sweden on Saturday – he warns: “We can’t afford to drop any more points at home.”

“We need to play the Portuguese way – attractive attacking football,” said Queiroz, whose team also lost 6-2 to Brazil in a November friendly. “Sweden are a capable and effective side with hard-working players. It won’t be easy but we have the motivation to play a great match.”
