Hi Guys by all accounts Portugal should have very strong teams on all 3 youth levels Under 21 Under 19 and Under 17 . Lets take a closer look at all 3 programs. Under 21 - Very good defence with Daniel and the captain Valdir as it"s main parts. - Benfica"s 18 year old Manuel Fernendez should be on this team. - "The Sniper " Vierinha might also be on this team he his the definition of Attacking Midfield. - The Striking duties will fall to Paulo Sergio and Hugo Almeida a very Dangerous duo. Under 19 - Were under 17 European Champions 2 years ago - Marcio Sousa pulls the strings in the midfield alongside Paulo Mouchado - Very bad defence gave up 18 goals in 4 games in under 17 world cup. - Benfica"s left back Tiago Costa is the class of the defence. - Very good Strike force wiith Salerio and Vaz Te leading the way Manuel Courto might fine his way back in after a ton of injuries last year. - As mention above there is a good chance that Vierinha will be with the under 21 if that is the case 16 year old Bruno Gama will fill the gap just fine. Under 17 - 2 Words for you Fabio Paim!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The next one will be on this team for the record he is 16 years old born on April 2 1988. He has played 2 times for the under 16 team and Scored once. Scored 33 goals for Sporting Jovens team. He plays all midfield postion"s but is especially ruthless on either wings. - The defence is above average gave up 5 goals in 6 games in Under 16 play not bad for youth soccer. - Andre Monterio and Ricardo Fernendez make it all happen in the midfield. - Very good strike force with Candieas ( Watch out for him ) Rui Pedro and Sportings Ricardo Noguiera. - Another player to keep an eye on is Jose Branco who goes by Zequinha he was just bought by F.C Porto from Setubal and they are very high on him as well. He also can play all 4 postions on the midfield with left wing being his best. He could cause alot of promblems with Paim on the other wing.
