Think a lot of the time at Juventus he played in a two up front he liked having another centre forward up with him at his age you can't allow him to get to isolated because he's not really going to hold the ball up or run channels he needs players close to him.
Sometimes he did start from a wider position but it wasn't really playing as a winger in the way he used to it was zero tracking back it just allowed him to start in a bit of the field where there was more space for him to get on the ball.
I'm really interested to see how him and Bruno work together as what I've seen when they play together for Portugal is them kind of getting in each others way a bit but Bruno normally plays a slightly more withdrawn role.
Those two are going to be great fun just moaning at each other for taking on stupid shots when they could have passed be a proper big brother/little brother thing I reckon.
