October 15th.
Portugal's national team, led by Figo, drew with Azerbaijan and secured their place in the European Championship finals as the group runner-up ahead of schedule.
Portugal rejoiced as a nation.
A year ago, the whole world was playing in the World Cup, but Portugal couldn't participate.
At that time, Figo had sworn at the Diamond Generation Invitational that he would lead Portugal to the European Championship.
He had done it.
Figo's stature as Portugal's football king had grown even further.
The Portuguese Golden Generation was finally about to translate their talent from the youth team to the national team.
While people harbored great hopes for the national team, they also turned their attention to the new youth team.
Could players like Quaresma, Viana, Ronaldo, Deng Kai, Meireles, and Almeida continue to harvest youth honors and then join Figo in the national team in the future?
