João Moutinho

Portuguese midfielder João Moutinho made his name through his intelligence, passing accuracy and consistency. He had important spells at Sporting, Porto, Monaco and Wolverhampton, and with Portugal he won the European Championship in 2016. He was always available for a pass and linked defense with attack through simple combinations. His positioning and ability to read the game helped him control the pace without relying on physical strength.
