We were beginning to know the softness of his right foot, but Vitinha demonstrated it again this Monday evening. Starting, alongside his two club teammates João Neves and Nuno Mendes, with Portugal against Croatia in the Nations League, the PSG midfielder stood out with a sublime assist for João Félix at half-time. hour of play.
Camped in his half of the field, in a situation that is nevertheless innocuous, Vitinha sees Félix's call behind Šutalo's back. The pass is absolutely perfect, in the race of the Chelsea striker who achieves equally sublime control, before deceiving Livakovic with his left foot.
While Portugal ultimately disappointed and conceded a draw against the Croatians, Vitinha's evening performance was praised, particularly by the Portuguese press. “Vitinha replicated his performance in the second half against Poland and, in front of the defense, as the primary playmaker, he was behind almost all of Portugal's offensive actions,” writes the sports daily A Bola, which gives it a score of 7, the best of the match on the Portuguese side. “It’s worth paying for a ticket to see it exclusively,” we read again.
