Or to be more precise, our players in the Portugal-Brazil friendly! It was a very enjoyable match to watch and the inclusion of Caneira, Hugo Viana and Miguel made it even more interesting atleast for me.
Caneira was the person I was very eager to see because I rate him as a good player who never got a fair shot with us and he didn´t let me down. He was very composed in his defending playing as a LB and supported Quaresma quite well when going forward, eventhough as right footed player, the left side isn´t his favoured one. I think we should take him back and give a better chance to show his stuff.
I´m not gonna but much effort to describe Miguel´s performance, simply because we already know what he´s capable of and secondly one word can tell how good he was, outstanding! Was always going forward without leaving spaces for dangerous counters, one of the few fullbacks in the world capable of that!
Hugo Viana came in substituting Deco for about the last 25 minutes and couldn´t quite hold the same standard a the guy he was substituted for, but still he played quite well, especially defensively (surprise) and even assisted Carvalho for the second goal. I´d really like to see him get more chances when both Baraja and Edu are out instead of having Albelda-Marchena in the midfield. This guy could still become a great player!
