I have my U23 friendly vs Argentina today. I won’t give you a bunch of details, since it’s just a chance to get a feel for my squad. We are playing a 4-3-2-1. We have tons of great middies, especially attacking ones, but not a lot of good true Strikers. Some of these players I added to the national pool so I could round out my team, such as Gilberto, who plays DR, WBR, MR and such.
My starters:
GK Rafael
DC – Marlon, Doria, Defend both
DR – Canela (Coming to Portugal in August 2017!), As Needed
DL – Igor Juliao, As Needed
MC – Marlon Bica, Support,
ML – Neymar, Attack
MR – Gilberto, Attack
AMC – Oscar, Support; Vitinho, Attack
ST – Otavio, Attack
I could take 3 players over 23, and I have Rafael, the best GK for the nation, who has started for the national squad, and Neymar and Oscar, just downright awesome players. Since the Copa America is going on, the Senior Squad has the best Gk and I took the 2nd best for the Olympics.
Marlon Bica is the captain, and Doria the Vice.
In the first 20 seconds, Gilberto finds Otavio for a score. Now I’m pulling back and just giving you a summary. We win 2-0, yay!
Next is our first friendly in Spain vs Hercules. Pick up where you left off! Rondon is back. We wi n4-1 and MOM is Franny with a hat trick.
