Portugal look for quick lift

COACH Luiz Felipe Scolari needs to lift his Portugal players after their humiliating failure to beat part-timers Liechtenstein when his side take on Russia in a World Cup qualifier tomorrow.

“I’ll be talking to the players in the hope of wiping the memory of this debacle from their minds,” the Brazilian said after the squad returned from Vaduz where they drew 2-2 in their Group Three qualifier on Saturday.

“We shall recover our confidence and our concentration for the Russia game,” he said.
