Secret Weapons (part 2)
Nelson Oliveira
COUNTRY
Portugal
CLUB
Benfica
POSITION
Forward
AGE
20 (08.08.91)
After many years of struggling to find strikers to match their production line of outstanding wingers, Portugal are finally beginning to reverse the trend thanks to the emergence of the young Benfica striker.
Lightning quick, an assured finisher and someone who relishes a physical contest, he was a pivotal figure as the under-20s finished runners-up at last year's world championship.
FFI Alex OXLADE - CHAMBERLAIN
COUNTRY
England
CLUB
Arsenal
POSITION
Midfielder
AGE
18(15.08.93)
Blessed with the upper body of a boxer and the twinkle-toes of a ballerina, the youngster has made quite an impact in his first season in the Premier League.
The son of former England and Stoke wide-man Mark Chamberlain, “the Ox” has won plenty of admirers with his combination of pace, power and tenacity. Could follow team-mate Theo Walcott as a major tournament wild card.
Arkadiusz Piech
COUNTRY
Poland
CLUB
Ruch Chorzow
POSITION
Forward
AGE
26 (07.06.85)
Borussia Dortmund’s Robert Lewandowski aside, Poland look to be seriously lacking in firepower up front. Flowever, coach Franciszek Smuda may just find the answer to his problems in the shape of this gritty little front runner.
Standing at under 5ft 8in, Piech is not afraid of hard work and also knows where the goal is. Made his international debut against Bosnia & Herzegovina just before Christmas.
Michael RABUSIC
COUNTRY
Czech Republic
CLUB
Slovan Liberec
POSITION
Forward
AGE
22 (17.09.89)
In fine form in front of goal since joining high-flying Liberec from Brno last June, he was a key member of the Czech under-21 squad which took part in the 2011 European Championship in Denmark.
His goals have helped maintain Liberec’s title battle with Sparta Prague and could be enough to persuade coach Michal Bilek to take a gamble on him for the senior Euros.
