Great job.
Before calling Cristiano, can we please find out what Bento was asking of him. Did Bento want him to stay forward in order to at the very least be watched and free up others in midfield?
Don't know, just asking.
Yes Cristiano was poor in his finishing, but people need to give it a rest.
In my opinion Veloso will have to play a very smart match verse the Dutch. Our wide defenders have been beaten, and if Veloso doesn't cover for them or for Pepe or Alves when they have to step out, we are in a world of hurt. He will also be critical in cutting off Robben and Sneidjer when come across the middle for that deadly curling shot.
Granted Meireles and or Moutinho will be critical in cutting off those lanes as well.
All in all, I didn't think we played much different verse Denmark than we did verse Germany.
We actually had more ball procession verse Germany (44%) than Denmark (42%). I expect very much the same verse the Dutch.
Maybe can someone help me with the following. I know Portugal has been getting better results, but tactically Bento is using the same approach Queiroz was killed for. Am I wrong?
