This will be Fabio Coentrao coming out party.... just you wait and see.

[Frank Cunha]

Fabio Coentrao plays for the U 20,

U 21 Helder Barbosa, Gama, Vieirinha, Machado

[jec1]

My bad! We have plenty of wingers but Coentrao will win a spot.

What happened to Gama?

[z187]

jec1 why do you seem to rate coentrao so highly?

he disgusted me with his play at the u20 world cup canada, didnt pass the ball ever.

[jec1]

Cause he's getting playing time and I see him being the best prospect we have. I can say the same thing for Barbosa but Porto are fools.

At the U20 WC, he was our best player.... He needs to mature but there's no disputing he can be a provider on the pitch. Maturity is all he needs and you'll people see why he's going to be the best Rio Academy player from their system.

I agree with your first sentence, I think Coentrao has more of a chance then the Porto youths.. even if the FCP kids are rated higher Coentrao has more of a chance at playing regularly for Benfica and that is better for his development.. barbosa, gama, and vierinhha keep getting loaned out .

but at u20, he wasnt the best player at all. Antunes was better, Gama was better until he got injured, and Pele was better. Coentrao hogged the ball and wouldnt pass, hed keep running until he lossed it.

if he matures and passes the ball he can be a good player. hes quick and turns fast and seems to have a good shot.

[jec1]

You forget that he was the primary offensive source on that team, Zequinha was second.

Gama is being lost in the shuffle. Porto are idiots. They have so much talent yet they keeping loaning out their talent every year.

FC will start for Benfica. He'll score, and pass and people will still cuss him out.

Sub-21: Caçador chama 20 para jogos decisivos
DUELOS COM INGLATERRA E IRLANDA NO HORIZONTE







Rui Caçador divulgou quinta-feira a lista de convocados para os derradeiros encontros do Grupo 3 de qualificação para o Campeonato da Europa Sub-21 Suécia'2009.

Para os encontros diante da Inglaterra (em Londres, no Estádio de Wembley, a 5 de Setembro) e da República da Irlanda ( Funchal, Estádio dos Barreiros, a 9 de Setembro), o técnico dos Sub-21 chamou 20 jogadores.

Entre os convocados destacam-se os regressos de Manuel Fernandes (chamado à Selecção A no recente particular com as Ilhas Faroé), João Moreira, Daniel Carriço e Stélvio que não fizeram parte dos eleitos para o último encontro de preparação, a 19 de Agosto, diante da República Checa.

Fora das opções ficou o médio Pelé, do Inter de Milão, expulso, devido a uma entrada violenta, no particular com a República Checa (2-3), a 19 de Agosto.

"Vamos ter dois encontros decisivos para as nossas aspirações. Queremos o primeiro lugar do grupo para acedermos desde logo ao 'paly-off' final e, para isso, teremos de ganhar os dois jogos que nos restam efectuar", afirmou Rui Caçador, em declarações ao site da Federação.

Contudo, o treinador lembra que "os quatro melhores classificados dos 10 grupos de qualificação também têm acesso ao 'play-off'", pelo que, "independentemente do que possa acontecer no jogo de Inglaterra", Portugal vai "ter uma final no Estádio dos Barreiros", no Funchal.

Lista de convocados:

Siena: Gonçalo Brandão;
Saint-Etienne: Paulo Machado;
Bolton: Vaz Té;
Trofense: Helder Barbosa;
Estrela Amadora: Nuno André Coelho e Vítor Vinha;
Leixões: Vasco Fernandes;
Paok: Vieirinha;
Rio Ave: Miguel Lopes;
Olhanense: Castro;
Sp. Braga: Stélvio;
Sporting: Daniel Carriço, Miguel Veloso, Pereirinha, Ricardo Batista e Rui Patrício;
Valencia: João Moreira e Manuel Fernandes;
V. Setúbal: Bruno Gama e Saleiro.

Data: Quinta-feira, 28 Agosto de 2008 - 18:58
