Former Portugal international Luis Figo says Spain will not win the World Cup. |

Figo, who made over 125 appearances and scored more than 30 goals for his country, says Vicente del Bosque’s outfit do not have enough quality to retain their title. Spain have won three consecutive major tournaments between 2008 and 2012, however they were convincingly brushed aside by Brazil when the two teams met in the Confederations Cup final last year. "I do not think Spain will win the World Cup,” Figo told Laureus.com. “I don’t think they have the quality to do so. It will be difficult for them to win, but not impossible.” Instead, Figo believes Brazil could win the tournament as they have a “great coach” and the advantage of home support. "I think it helps to be playing at home. I know the Brazil coach [Luis Felipe Scolari] well and I think he's a great coach for this type of tournament and the country will help to support the team,” Figo added. “It will be very, very difficult for other teams against Brazil [because of the support].” The 41-year-old, who made over 160 appearances for Real Madrid, then backed his former club to win the Champions League on Saturday when they take on city rivals Atletico in Lisbon. "I think Real Madrid will win because the last time they won, I was there [as a player] in 2002. So it's pretty special. I hope Real win, but you know that in a football final anything can happen." |
菲戈曾代表葡萄牙出場125次，打進30多個球。菲戈說，博斯克治下的斗牛士們已經沒有足夠的實力來衛冕他們的冠軍頭銜。 從2008年到2012年，西班牙已經贏得三屆國際大賽冠軍，然而在去年的聯合會杯決賽中，他們完敗于巴西隊腳下。 菲戈在接受Laureus.com的采訪時說道：“我認為西班牙不會贏得世界杯冠軍”，“我認為他們沒有實力做到這一點。贏得世界杯冠軍對他們來說非常困難，但也不是完全不可能。” 相反，菲戈認為巴西將贏得世界杯冠軍，因為他們擁有一個“偉大的教練”，又有主場的優勢。 菲戈還補充道：“我認為在主場比賽非常有幫助，我特別了解巴西教練斯科拉里（Scolari），我認為，對于這種比賽，他非常有經驗，而且整個國家都會支持他們的球隊。” “由于這種支持，其它球隊要想對抗巴西球隊是非常困難的。” 這位41歲的前皇馬球星曾為皇馬效力超過160場比賽。周六，他對老東家擊敗同城對手馬競贏得歐冠冠軍表示了支持。 “我認為皇馬會贏，因為上一次在2002年他們就贏了，當時我還是場上球員。那種感覺非常特殊。我希望皇馬能贏，但是你要知道在決賽中什么事兒都有可能發生。” （譯者 英語1104馬迎 編輯 馬馳） |
