So what's your starting 11 prediction? Breaking news in today's press conference! It was understood that "untouchable" Ricardo didn't have his goalkeeper place gauranteed. Straight from the goalkeeper coach's mouth!
Now that we know that in goal it's not definite, other positions at stake: Forwards and midfielder duo
On Monday's Viseu Portugal training, May 26 the press reported:
Luiz Felipe Scolari tested the forwards- using 2 forwards Hugo Almeida and Nuno Gomes in the tactical system.
Defenders:
As Right back, Chelsea new aquisition Bosingwa.
As Left back , Chelsea defender Paolo Ferreira.
Central defenders:
FC Porto's Bruno Alves and Fernando Meira. Keep in mind, Carvalho is most likely to start but on Monday he was still doing special work to avoid 'desgaste' physical exhaustion from the season. That means he stayed at the team Hotel and didn't train with the team on the pitch.
midfielders:
Barcelona's Deco and Petit duo
midfielders/ wingers:
Quaresma and Simao. What no Cristiano Ronaldo? I hear you saying :) Along with Carvalho he also stayed to do special work at the team hotel to avoid physical exhaustion from the whole season.
Scolari then gave the opportunity to another midfield duo- Sporting Lisboa's João Moutinho and Miguel Veloso.
Jorge Ribeiro, who can either be in defense or midfield, was used as a left-back- defender.
Almeida over Postiga?
Will it be Carvalho and Alves or Carvalho and Meira.
