They could get to the next level with a few small tweaks: send Leao home, put Fernandes on left wing, bench Vitinha, put Cancelo in midfield, give young Neves a free roaming role with specific instructions to make it about himself, and oh, ask the keeper to hoof it up every chance he gets. While you’re at it, stop pressing ffs.I know Martinez gets a lot of criticism but this Portugal team has far more structure and intent than England could dream of right now.
They’re pretty dominant here, they were all over Czech too but were wasteful. They’ve averaged about 65% possession across both games. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them go quite deep in this tournament.
