Simao in cautious moodPortugal star Simao says the squad is ready to fire against Azerbaijan but is not writing off the ability of the lesser known nation.
He said: “It’d be foolish to write off Azerbaijan for a couple of reasons. Firstly they’ve got nothing to lose and secondly because Portugal usually has difficulties against smaller footballing nations”
“The key – and the most difficult thing – will be to start off scoring early on into the game. After that it’ll be far easier to control the game. We need to play our game and try to score whenever possible without leaving the rearguard open”, added Simao.
