Roberto Martinez Announces World Cup Squad
Roberto Martinez, Manager of the Portuguese National Football Team, balanced experience and youth to conjure an excellent team.
Portugal are serious Contenders
Considering the quality in the team, Portugal are serious contenders in my opinion, and though the critics may disagree, they have the depth to take on any team in the tournament.
A Tough Defence
The Defence cannot get better with Ruben Dias, Nuno Mendes, Matheus Nunes and Joao Cancelo being a formidable foursome.
A Sensational Midfield
The Midfield is super strong with three wizards in Vitinha, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes. This is the real deal for Portugal. The trio can be relentless. They not only have the experience but also sublime skills to boot. With Joao Neves and Ruben Neves in the wings, too, this midfield is a dream.
Cristiano Ronaldo Leads The Forwards
The Forwards, led by the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo, have the young Joao Felix, Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr teammate, who has been in prime form playing all season brilliantly. Pedro Neto and Francisco Trincao will surely add depth to this squad.
It is up to Roberto Martinez
It is up to Roberto Martinez to make it happen for Portugal. He has the artillery, but the question is, can he deliver?
