finally, CQ takes note... from Maisfutebol article today O seleccionador nacional Carlos Queiroz confirmou esta quinta-feira que Fábio Coentrão, do Benfica, e Ruben Micael e Varela, do F.C. Porto, estão entre os jogadores na calha para serem chamados para o Mundial 2010. O treinador lembrou que desde o último estágio da selecção B que tem os nomes em equação. «O Ruben foi um dos jogadores que, de imediato, notei como jogador de destaque e com grandes potencialidades para o futebol português. Desde essa data que há três nomes que ficaram bem assinalados: o Fábio Coentrão, o Varela e o Rúben», afirmou Carlos Queiroz à partida para a África do Sul, onde vai tratar de pormenores relativos à participação portuguesa no torneio.
I was just going to post this, fantastic addition to the NT. They can only improve the lineup. Varela is developing extremely well. Id love to see Liedson and Varela as the 2 up front. He is a good finisher. Deco is getting old, at 32, and Micael definitely be the creative CAM on the offense along with Danny. Coentrao can backup Simao, or maybe even play at LB. We are still lacking in that position so it wouldnt hurt to try him out there.
I love to see this lineup --------Varela----Liedson------Ronaldo-- -------------Ruben-------------- --------Veloso (Pepe)--Meireles------------ --meh----alves---carvalho---bosingwa----- -------------Eduardo--------------------- front 3 all fast... liedson also is like nuno gomes in that he can hold the ball up and make passes to feed other attckers like Ronaldo and varela and ruben for shots on goal. add to that liedson's skills in the finishing department and this team could surprise alot of ppl at the WC
the alternate set up we have been using a bit latelt, the 4-4-2 losango -------------Varela------Liedson----------- -------------------Ruben----------------- -------------Simao(Meireles)----Ronaldo-------- -------------------Veloso (Pepe----------- --MEH----------Carvalho---Alves-------Bosingwa--- -------------------Eduardo we need two of the midfielders to be less aggressive in attack, to let Ronaldo be more free to focus on what he does better than anyone in the world - attacking the goal.
fabio coentrao? nah im going out on a limb and assuming that meh is "ef it, whoever" considering Portugal doesn't have a clear cut LB
and Danny and Meira he was as solid as a robot's cock. Though I can understand the reasons you would not but any of these three in especially right now as starters.
-------Liedson(Coentrao)------Simao------- ---------------CR--------------- Varela-------Ruben(Deco)------Meireles Pepe--Alves--Carvalho--Bosingwa
