World Cup 2006 Group D Preview: Portugal - Players To Watch
Everyone’s favourite Brazilian Portugeueser Deco is still the main man to watch when Luiz Felipe Scolari’s boys take to the pitch and after a starring role in Barcelona’s march to the European Cup he is having the season of his life. “The Magician” might turn 29 in August but his magic skills are greater than ever and with him hitting hard in the tackle for a man of his “reduced” stature and then playing the clever balls into his strikers, he is certain to shine brightly in Germany.
Despite a troubled year with the loss of his father and unfounded allegations of a sexual assault, Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo steps up to the plate as Portugal’s main hope of being Luis Figo’s eventual successor as Portugal’s national hero. Tricky and skilful while dancing over the ball, he often frustrates his strike partners for club and country by being too elaborate but a strike rate of one goal in every three games for Portugal is measure enough of an end product from the young winger.
