Queiroz likes to install the mentality of an outsider to his players no matter who you are. Not surprised he hails his team's performances as 'heroic'. He will forever remain a manager that can succeed only at sides that are outside of the Top 20 in the world. We saw his failure with Colombia when Ecuador ripped them to shreds 6-1.
highlighted part: spot on. You are right that Queiroz is not a good fit for a top rated side (albeit Colombia wouldn't be the example I have in mind). For others, it depends on your strong points and weak points. Remember, the tactics and personality a coach brings to a team is supposed to hide/cover your weaknesses but also accentuate your strengths. Queiroz does alright with teams like Egypt and Iran because he does the first part well, but unless a coach does both, I won't give him full tactical points even if his ego/personality/insecurity didn't make him so poisonous for so many coaches, players, referees etc who he regularly tries to viciously undermine. p.s. a look at the highest rated players for Egypt, or Iran, and the positions they play, should indicate whether Queiroz's tactics "accentuate" either side's strengths.
