This is pretty true. Portugal are famously short up top. They normally play Ronaldo on his own, which he doesn't like and doesn't always work. Otherwise they only have Eder of Swansea, who hasn't worked out. They've had to stick with Almeida and Postiga for years because of the shortage. Its a great opportunity for Joao, and he could get some game time if he impresses because of their lack of depth.
