The star player Cristiano Ronaldo is still very much Portugal’s go-to man though the peerless real Madrid star is supported by a very able cast. The central defensive pairing of Pepe and Bruno Alves is the cornerstone of a very solid rearguard that also features flying full backs Joao Pereira and Fabio Coentrao.
