Hélio Sousa (Portugal):
We don't think that we have found the key for success because that key is always changing, all teams are finding something new, for the future, to have some success. The success for us is being in these final competitions – to give our best players in that generation that somebody new can have this final tournament, which is very important for their future. They arrive more confident, stronger, more able.
