“Groups are extra bodily and compact on the again, it’s faster and extra aggressive. Gyokeres would wrestle to play as a lone No 9 ready for service.
“Beto’s a extra bodily participant, who fights with defenders and doesn’t lose duels. He’s an actual headache for opponents — if he will get the service. Of their golden period, United all the time scored a number of objectives from set-pieces however haven’t had a correct striker for a lot of seasons. These days, groups have small, fast strikers or a false ahead as a result of there may be an obsession for possession of the ball.
“Beto represents the standard previous model, due to his physique, energy and work-rate — plus he’s very quick. When Moyes went to Everton he confirmed what a handful he’s for defenders to cease. He’d be like Amorim’s ace up his sleeve in a recreation of poker.”
