Portugal started their Euro 2012 qualifiers with a disappointing 4-4 draw against Cyprus and the Seleccao will be looking to bounce back with a good result against Norway on Tuesday evening. Assistant coach Agostinho Oliveira, who's in charge following the suspension of Carlos Queiroz, has made it clear that it won't be easy to beat the Norwegians though.
"Given that Norway are strong in dead-ball situations I have to make adjustments to balance our aerial game," Oliveira was quoted as saying by Portugoal.net.
"There is no chaos in the team following the absence of Queiroz. There might be chaos outside the team, but the team itself is fine. The lads are fantastic.
"We all know that Queiroz is the national team coach. It makes perfect sense that he has contacted me. Nobody has said that he is no longer the coach. It’s obvious that I’m in charge of the team at the moment and I make my choices. I speak to Carlos though.
"I want a calm environment around the team. Let the outsiders do what they want but I want to transmit that we are calm and we are giving our very best."
