Danny (Zenith) is one of Carlos Queiroz's players. He was called up after Queiroz became coach. Danny was in the starting lineup in Brazil 6-2, scoring the first goal. He's an attacking midfielder who likes to make runs down the middle and shoot.
In the Portugal 0-0 Sweden game, Danny was in the starting lineup beating out Joao Moutinho. He lacked the finishing skills in his 2 chances in the area. Queiroz finally replaced him in the second half. See photos of Danny in Portugal 0-0 Sweden.
