Portugal World Cup Squad 2022 Preview: The 2016 Euro champions, Portugal will be aiming for their very first FIFA World Cup crown in the presence of their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7, regarded as one of the greatest ever to play the game will lead his side in his fifth appearance in the competition. Fernando Santos’s side will have lots to prove with all the things happening outside (Cristiano RONALDO releasing an interview with Piers Morgan). However, the team looks compact on paper but the performance in the 2020 Euro is a serious concern,
The ever-present Luis Patricio and Jose SA will feature under the sticks while the presence of experience defenders like Pepe, Fonte, and Raphael will help the side to lay the platform. There are also quite a few exciting players like Cancelo, Dalot, and Nuno who will add to the depth.
The midfield looks equally strong with experienced campaigners like Moutinho, Danilo, Neves, and Carvalho. The center of the pitch will be bolstered by the flare of Bernado Silva and Bruno Fernandes. The future of this country will certainly depend on these two as they will be crucial for their creativity in the field.
Meanwhile, Portugal’s forward roster might be considered one of the underrated sides of the world. Cristiano Ronaldo will be accompanied by Joao Felix, Andre Sliva, and others. When the chips are down, CR7 rises, and it remains to be seen if the star forward can match the same in a matter of few days.
