葡萄牙隊主帥斯科拉裏可謂是將戰爭中的藝術完美地引用到了對球賽的指揮當中，讓我們來看看他是如何做到的：
1.戰爭的本質是欺騙。斯科拉裏多次欺騙了他的對手。在葡萄牙首場同安哥拉的比賽中，他宣稱德科雖有傷在身，但是可以參賽，結果那場比賽德科一分鐘也沒上場，而在同英格蘭四分之一決賽前，老帥又放話説C羅將很可能因傷缺席比賽，結果葡萄牙人在場上飛奔了120分鐘。
2.軍心穩定者得天下。正像裏卡多説“我們對自己很有信心，大家就像是一家人”.
3.軍隊的指揮官要有智慧，真摯，愛心，勇氣和嚴明的紀律。裏卡多説“他又寬大的胸懷，當他又什麼不喜歡的，斯科拉裏總是會説出來”
4.完美的指揮官會制定出道德法則並嚴格的遵守紀律。雖然在同荷蘭的比賽中葡萄牙人的犯規有些多，但是那場比賽中葡萄牙所吃的紅牌是他們自斯科拉裏執教以來三年裏的第一次。
5.足智多謀而又了解自己的將軍才會知道如何帶兵打仗。在葡萄牙同英格蘭在2004年歐洲盃上相遇時，斯科拉裏做出了一個令許多人目瞪口呆的決定：用毫無大賽經驗的波斯蒂加換下菲戈，然而結果證明這次換人時神來之筆，正是他打入了扳平比分的一球。
6.在實戰中培養出的能量是無窮盡的。斯科拉裏已經帶領葡萄牙取得連續19場不敗的驕人戰績，他正在夢想著成為第一個帶領不同球隊捧得大力神盃的教練。

Scolari's Strategy List
July 4, 2006
MARIENFELD, Germany (AP) -- Some examples of how Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari puts The Art of War into practice:
-- The Art of War: "All warfare is based on deception."

Twice Scolari has sought to bluff his adversaries about his team. In Portugal's opener against Angola, he said midfield mastermind Deco should be ready to play despite an injury. Deco never appeared. On the eve of a quarterfinal game against England, Scolari insisted he didn't know whether Cristiano Ronaldo would be available after a thigh injury. Ronaldo played 120 minutes.
-- The Art of War: "He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks."
Goalie Ricardo said: "We have faith in ourselves. We're like a family."
-- The Art of War: "The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness."
Ricardo said: "He has a huge heart, but when he doesn't like something he says so."
-- The Art of War: "The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, strictly adheres to method and discipline."
Despite criticism of their foul play against the Dutch, in that game Portuguese players saw their first red cards in more than three years under Scolari.
-- The Art of War: "The general who thoroughly understands the advantages that accompany variation of tactics knows how to handle his troops."
When Portugal was heading for defeat against England at the 2004 European Championship Scolari played a master stroke by taking off veteran Luis Figo and bringing on untested youngster Helder Postiga. The striker headed in an equalizer in the dying minutes.
-- The Art of War: "Thus the energy developed by good fighting men is as the momentum of a round stone rolled down a mountain thousands of feet in height."
Scolari is on a 19-game unbeaten run with Portugal and is eyeing becoming the only coach to win the World Cup title twice with different teams. He won it with his native Brazil four years ago.
