Bernardo Silva insists he will play wherever he is asked to for Portugal, even if he would prefer to be operating from the central position he occupies for Manchester City.
Bernardo was in brilliant form for City all season, and has taken that momentum into June's Nations League fixtures for Portugal. He has featured in all three of Portugal's games so far, including a starring role off the right in their 2-0 win over Czech Republic. First, he drew in his full-back and flicked a lovely ball to send City teammate Joao Cancelo into the box on the underlap, who finished powerfully at a tight angle.
He later set up Goncalo Guedes, and in their previous win over Switzerland he had assisted Cancelo again with another clever reverse ball for Cancelo's inside run. However, while he has maintained his effectiveness from the wing, he said on Thursday that his preferred role remains in the centre.
