"The team was strong in all areas, played good football and converted that into goals. We were good with and without the ball and good at fast transitions, both attacking and defensive. The team had an identity and all the players could appear in the final third – a winger, a midfielder or a defender. We performed well and that was reflected in our results. But it is difficult to do that game after game."
Portugal team analysis
• 1-4-3-3 with fluent combinations based on technique and movement
• Great variation in attacking play; wingers strong in 1 v 1 skills
• Wide players cutting in to open space for powerful overlaps by full-backs
• Quick transitions; well-coordinated high or midfield pressing
• High defence; strong centre-backs; good diagonal passing to wings
• José Gomes a natural predator with fast movement and aerial ability
• All-round talents in midfield, pushing into final third to support attacks
