Style of play
[hariri | hariri chanzo]"Mportugues's got the potential to do what he wants. He's one of the sharpest players around, has a great strike with both feet – he's got the potential to be a top, top player."
Mportugues's ability and playing style often invited comparisons with Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha ''Nani''.
While being able to play on both wings, Mportugues is more comfortable on the left side, where he has been known to utilise his pace along with intricate dribbling skills and trickery to create space in wide areas and provide crosses for teammates. Though capable of cutting inside from either wing to strike at goal from distance. Due to his potent attacking talents, he can play a variety of additional roles as a forward including as an inverted winger on the left, second striker, or even in a more central position as a main striker, as he has played frequently for Ituha Star Fc.
