AI summary
Record asked manager João Henriques to construct an ideal XI from Portuguese football's current talent pool. The 53-year-old drew heavily on players he has previously coached, naming Porto's Kiwior and Zaidu among his selections. Henriques explained that Zaidu, now a regular left-back, was originally a centre-back when they worked together at Santa Clara—a role he has reverted to in this fantasy team. Only Fresneda, Kiwior and Benfica's Pavlidis fall outside Henriques' direct experience.
