<p><strong><a href="http://www.21footballmedia.com/">Mourinho </a></strong>is a talented coach with the show, but this way, the reason this is in the world because he can feel his presence. Two days ago, the Portuguese Football Federation invited him to serve as a proxy national team coach, the interim team to participate in the European Cup qualifiers with Iceland and Denmark&#8217;s two games. Real Madrid&#8217;s Jose Mourinho as coach on the &#8220;temporary&#8221; work is not excluded, on the contrary he was happy with this new task: &#8220;They do not pay for me, I am free to do the work. Video &#8211; Muri Ronaldo: Real Madrid team can not depend on the attitude of refusal &#8221;<br />
Mourinho in the Friday before Real Madrid Real Sociedad with a news conference, said Real Madrid coach he has not forgotten their identity, just threw this hot potato the club only.</p>
<p>In this conference, Mourinho fully shown his ability to be smooth and slick, both Real Madrid fans, fans of Portugal or the Portuguese Football Federation, Real Madrid will feel hearing his answer satisfactory. &#8220;I said, within 20 years to coach the Portuguese national team, but a full-time coach. I am now the head coach of Real Madrid, I owe the club a lot, but the job is very appealing to me.&#8221; In fact, Muli Ni Austria took nearly 5 minutes talking about him with the Portuguese Football Federation, the relationship between the Madrid club, he did not deny any possibility, but also not harmful to the interests of any party. &#8220;So in this matter, the feeling is very important, and Real Madrid fans may be feeling the world&#8217;s most vulnerable fans, so I feel that Real Madrid will not let me go to Portugal, although there are indeed possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jose Mourinho want to return to their own national team, &#8220;loyalist&#8221;, but considering the current Real Madrid coach his identity, and the club&#8217;s attitude to dump temporary handprint Portugal is less likely to complete in a clear expression of his views, he Portuguese continued: &#8220;In fact, to the national team coach is not just for fun, but a mission. my children, my family is Portuguese, but I know that Real Madrid do not agree with me to accept this task, I can not on the Portuguese national team, said &#8216;yes&#8217;. because it owed to the club a lot, so the request can not be said on the club &#8216;no&#8217; &#8220;take into account most of Madrid&#8217;s press site, use Spanish Mourinho said: &#8220;Now my country needs me and I could not ignore. this country, many people said I was selfish, if the trip, I will not be a cent. In sum, everything depends on the Portuguese Football Association is to reach an agreement with Real Madrid.&#8221;</p>

<p>David Villa&#8217;s strike proved to be the difference in Cape Town.</p>
<p>&#8220;Spain had the better chances and I think, sadly, they deserved to win,&#8221; said Queiroz.</p>
<p>&#8220;Spain were much more effective moving the ball around. We were looking for chances on the counter-attack. We had our chances &#8211; we just didn&#8217;t score.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite their conservative game plan &#8211; <a href="http://www.21footballmedia.com/">Portugal</a> only really came to life in a desperate final five minutes &#8211; Queiroz insisted his side had given their all.</p>
<p>&#8220;We showed ambition and desire to win but it just wasn&#8217;t possible. We&#8217;ll have to come back stronger,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe the fans have justifiable reason to be proud of the way the team has played.</p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted to do well and when we compete at this level, if we manage to obtain second or third, it is not satisfactory.</p>
<p>&#8220;We always have as our main goal to win. We also want to have an honourable performance to dignify Portuguese football.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wanted us to be able to leave the field with our heads held high, and I think we accomplished this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Portugal&#8217;s star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, had a frustrating night and was frequently marginalised as Spain controlled possession, and he refused to talk to reporters as he left the ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TEAM NEWS<br />
Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso is a major doubt with a sprained ankle, so Javier Martinez is on standby to replace him. Reserve defender Raul Albiol is definitely out of this match after damaging ankle ligaments during training.</p>
<p>Deco is available again for Portugal after a hip injury, so coach Carlos Queiroz must decide whether to restore him to the starting line-up. Hugo Almeida or Liedson will come back into the team as Danny is expected to miss the game with a badly bruised leg.</p>
<p>One booking from suspension: Almeida, Coentrao, Duda, Mendes, Pepe, Ronaldo, Tiago (Portugal)</p>
<p>MATCH PREVIEW<br />
Two years ago to the day of this match, Spain finally broke their major tournament duck and lifted the European Championship trophy. If they are to go one step further and break their World Cup hoodoo they are going to have to significantly up their performances, starting against their Iberian neighbours Portugal.</p>
<p>Fernando Torres scored the goal in the final in Vienna back in 2008, but his performances in <a href="http://www.21footballmedia.com">South Africa</a> have been synonymous with that of the rest of the Spanish team. He and many of his much-vaunted colleagues have started the tournament sluggishly and look like they are still recovering from the shock of losing to Switzerland in their opening match.</p>
<p>Portugal have played out two grim goalless draws sandwiched either side of a mauling of North Korea. Coach Carlos Queiroz has opted for a different striking formation in all three of their games so far, but while he ponders how to get goals at one end, he is losing no sleep about a defensive unit that has conceded just once in their last 12 matches.</p>
<p>The Portuguese have only beaten Spain five times in 32 encounters, but perversely have lost this fixture just once since 1958. Like many local derbies, a draw has proved to be a very common result, so penalties could be the only way of separating these neighbours at the Cape Town stadium.</p>
<p>MATCH OFFICIALS<br />
Head-to-head<br />
- They have met 32 times in international football. Portugal have won just five matches, Spain 15 and there have been 12 draws.</p>
<p>- But Portugal won their last meeting 1-0, which came at the Euro 2004 group stages and eliminated Sapin from the competition.</p>
<p>- And Spain have only beaten Portugal once in the ten matches since 1958.</p>
<p>Spain<br />
- They must make history if they are to win the World Cup, as no country has lost its first group match and gone on to lift the trophy.</p>
<p>- David Villa has scored six goals in six starts at the World Cup and is now the all-time top scorer for Spain at the tournament.</p>
<p>- Spain became the first team since Hungary in 1986 not to collect a single card in the group stages of a World Cup tournament. In fact, they have not had a player cautioned in their last six matches since Sergio Ramos was booked against France on 3 March.</p>
<p>Portugal<br />
- Portugal have conceded just one goal in their last 12 internationals.</p>
<p>- Should they get through against Spain, they will set a new unbeaten record for Portugal of 20 games in all competitions.</p>
<p>- They have failed to score in their last two World Cup knockout matches &#8211; 0-0 (aet) against England in the quarter-final and a 1-0 defeat to France in the semi-final in 2006.</p>
