Portugal now has one of the best squads in their history, Prime Ronaldo would have made that team unstoppable, but with all the names available we could say YES they can go for it, especially with Martinez being in charge (We all know Fernando Santos wasn’t the one)

Let me remind you of some of the names in their squad

Bruno Fernandes (Man U) Danilo Pereira (PSG) Joao Felix (Barcelona) Joao Cancelo (Barcelona) Bernando Silva (Man City) Gonçalo Ramos (PSG)

And many more

Depends on what you define as “successful”. If you expect him to dribble past everyone, be quick and press like crazy, that surely won’t happen.

I think a realistic expectation would be to count on him from penalties and set pieces. He is very far from his prime, but he is still excellent on those two things. People laugh at “Penaldo” stuff all the time, but it’s a huge luxury to have a cold-blooded player with 20+ years of top footballing career in your squad.

As for people saying he should be benched, that makes zero sense. He is an incredible form right now, yes against weaker opponents for both club and country, but it’s still a very good form. I’d rather have a very experienced player, with a very good form, even if it’s against “camels”, rather than Goncalo Ramos with 2 goals in 15 games, being benched at this own team.

Surprised he even gets in the team with Jota playing

Did you watch their recent qualifier matches? He was mad when Bruno scored instead of crossing to him. He’s finished and a detriment to the team

No matter the league, the numbers he has been putting up is impressive for any 39 year old, I think he could have a good tournament, but his role might have to be as a super sub, especially in the latter stages of the competition, but I think he could still shine

Guess who will be blamed if they don’t win the tournament?

I will be there 😂
