Playing Style
Dalot is a versatile full-back. He is primarily a right-back but can also play left-back or push higher as a right wing-back, which gives Roberto Martínez a defender able to cover both flanks. His attacking instinct down the wing is balanced by the recovery work of getting back into shape.
Portugal qualified playing a possession-heavy 4-2-3-1, with a 71.0% share of the ball that ranked third in Europe during the campaign. Dalot has three international goals from his time in the squad and is one of the right-sided defenders Martínez can call on.
