Portugal got off to a stuttering start in their World Cup qualifying campaign, but a 2-0 aggregate win over Bosnia-Herzegovina means that the Portuguese will be present in South Africa. Head coach Carlos Queiroz was delighted with his side's success and praised the players for their effort.
"As I have always said, marathons only finish at the end, when the referee signals that the final match is over. The players are to be congratulated and deserve our applause for all they have done before we sealed our place," Queiroz said at the post-match press conference.
"It was not here that the team won. We have been winning for a long time, only those who do not want to see the fighting spirit, delivery and dedication from the players can have doubts.
"Our next aim is to prepare the team to honour our country in the World Cup. Before anything else we have to think how to prepare the team well. We have to ensure they demand a lot of themselves.
"But the team spirit has been fantastic, brilliant, and this was the consequence of all the work that the team has put in. The most important thing is the team, the 'us' is what is important," the Portugal coach concluded.
