Hi, I'm Joao Cancelo and I'm going to pick the Portuguese Best XI of the Premier League.
Goalkeeper: Rui Patricio.
He is a very secure goalkeeper, with character.
These are his best characteristics.
Right-back... I pick myself!
I don't know why!
I don't know why, but I pick myself. Just to make sure, right?
Exactly!
Centre-back: Ruben Dias.
For his leadership. He is someone that I already knew. He has been very important since he came to City,
so I pick him for my Best XI.
The other centre-back I pick is Ricardo Carvalho,
because I think he was one of the best defenders we had in Portuguese football.
So I pick him alongside Ruben Dias.
Left-back: Nelson Semedo. He is a very technical player. Physically is also very good.
So I pick him as left-back.
My midfield has Joao Moutinho as a holding midfielder. He is a teammate that I like very much in the national team.
I love his football, he is a very smart player.
He is also a leader and it's always important to have this kind of player in a squad.
Alongside him in the midfield I pick Bruno Fernandes.
He is a player with a very strong shot, very pragmatic, a strong personality and I like this kind of player.
So I pick him alongside Joao Moutinho in the midfield.
The other is Bernardo Silva with the number 10.
Of course! I think it is the only number that suits him.
He is a phenomenal player. For me, one of the best Portuguese players of the latest times.
So he goes alongside Moutinho and Bruno Fernandes in my midfield.
In the attack, I pick Nani as a right winger.
In the left, Cristiano.
Do I have to tell you why? I don't need to! The best Portuguese player of all-time.
It was obvious that he would be in my XI.
Up front I pick Diogo Jota,
from Liverpool, because he is a player that scores a lot of goals and is very strong inside of the box.
I pick him for my XI. So, that's it.
This is my all time Portuguese best XI of the Premier League.
