Bizarre Portugal Football Training


Portugal players during an exercise session in cooperation and strategy designed by the Portuguese Air Force (FAP). Spirit of cohesion, discipline, camaraderie, loyalty and spirit were fundamental elements. The team has to act as a whole to have success. The team trained in a mock theatre at the stadium with a hint of tactical combat Including 18 soldiers - from lieutenant colonel to second-cord and the Major Mouta Raposo, information officer for the FAP.

Good old Ron. He's managed to keep his hair do even during this exercise.

They say best form of defence is attack, but come on guys, this is ridiculous. And what's the point of camouflage with those boots? Even the worst ref in the world will be able to spot a foul from miles away.

Where's Rooney? Portugal team covering all flanks in defence. Helps so that the ref doesn't know which player he booked earlier perhaps. Cunning plan hey Ron.

An exercise useful for a game vs Cameroon maybe.

Looks like some Portuguese players take their make up application more seriously than others.

Quick, hide the contraband before Sarg gets back. I guess that's what you call team work.

The naughty box or soap box? Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo is being singled out for winking too much.

Bit of gas never did anyone any harm!! Yet another bizarre exercise.

Team briefing before the war begins.

Portugal players put on their make up ready for the games.
