Rodrigo Mora | Porto player

[Invictus]

Deserves his own thread by now. João Neves and Vitinha are yesterday's men.

Pint-sized attacking-midfielder/forward/second-striker with delightful technique and body balance.

Scores at a fair clip as well (top scorer of the 2024 U-17 EUROs and 10 goals in 1400 minutes of league football as a 17 year old).

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal coach Roberto Martínez has called up 18-year-old Rodrigo Mora for the semifinals of the Nations League.

“Mora is a special player,” Martínez said. “He deserves to be in the national team after what he did for Porto in the last six months.

“He played at a very high level. I smile when I talk about him because he’s a player who can mark an era in Portuguese soccer.”
