Why?

It’s a natural process. If a young player shows sufficient quality, he deserves to be picked. Looking at the youth development work in Portugal these past few years, we can look at the future with confidence. We currently are European under-17 champions, and a year ago continental runners-up at under-21 level. There’ll be others pushing themselves forward. I have to stress that no one knows what the future holds for us, least of all me.
