Hahahaha NJ you should have nothing to say about "its a sad state if we can't get regular first team players onto the Seleccao." Lmaoo you're a Benfica supporter you have no right to decide who should be on the team or not. You're team has contributed nothing to this current national team besides Fabio Coentrao. Stop trying to undermine players and just appreciate them for what they are. Sporting had a very big squad this season and so there was always going to be rotation in some positions. In the biggest games this season and especially in the Europa League Daniel Carrico has played and he has been IMMENSE for Sporting! Daniel Carrico right now is one of the most important players for the solidarity of Sporting!
Miguel Veloso is a nice player too. I like him as well, he brings quality to the game. But so does Daniel Carrico! We need to have more than one option for our defensive midfield in the national team. Right now we should be delighted that we have two quality players of different styles for that position in Veloso and Carrico. Veloso brings excellent technique skill and passing and okay defending. Carrico brings great strength and defensive prowess and more pace than Veloso too. He's not as skilled as Veloso, but he is still technically sound and for a defensive midfielder he is still more than good enough! Daniel Carrico is a lion of a player and with Sa Pinto he has been an important player for Sporting again. In the biggest games in Europe he shone brightly for Sporting. He's a rock for us in the midfield.
I am not saying take one over the other. We must take both, but probably Carrico should be 1st choice because he offers us better defensive coverage. If we play with Veloso I guess we could play a possession style game and just keep the ball as a form of defense. Its a tough choice but definitely both of them deserve to be on the national team!
