Team characteristics

Portugal has never been ashamed to use naturalized players, but Portuguese naturalized players are not just foreigners, but people from Portuguese colonies who are strongly influenced by Portuguese culture. Portugal has colonized Africa for hundreds of years, so although these naturalized players come from overseas Portugal, they are already Portuguese at heart.

The sea forged the Portuguese empire and nourished Portuguese football. The colonial empire established by Portugal on the vast sea is an important foundation for the development of Portuguese football. Football in Latin culture emphasizes the ball control technique at the foot and the overall conduction ability of the team. This style has shaped Brazil's colorful samba football and Argentina's wild and rigorous tango football. This style has also enabled Spanish football to successfully establish a dynasty that belongs to control tactics. ?

However, due to the extensive use of African players, compared with traditional Latin football, Portuguese football has more simple and rude African elements that advocate speed and body, which makes Portugal's overall football thinking more diverse and enables the Portuguese football team to adapt to a variety of different tactical styles. The existence of a large number of African players makes Portuguese football stronger and faster than other Latin teams.
