Portugal winging their way to the next round

June 15th, 2008 •  Permalink 

Two wide men. Two positions. One frankly awesome display so far. Nani and Quaresma are running the show so far against Switzerland, and proving in the process that they are truly interchangeable wing players. Starting on the right, Nani also completed a whole lot of work on the left, and the right-footed Quaresma - who started on the left - has worked the right wing wonderfully. Just check out the fancy heat maps provided by the boffins at the Castrol Index to show exactly how wide these two fellows play. Talk about hugging the touchlines, especially in Quaresma’s case - providing some quality crosses in the process.
