William Carvalho is among one of the top ten European defensive midfielders according football statistics and analysis website , Squawka . 

 Oliver Young Myles, in an article in which he identifies the best “latches” to play in European football , draws up a list of the ten players in this core position that dominate in Europe, and the Portuguese international comes up with a curious nickname . “A midfielder who is a true mountain-man , William Carvalho has been one of the most acclaimed players in his position since he emerged in the first team of Sporting CP in 2013-14”, writes the English site , which details. “Carvalho is a specialist in cutting opponents’ game thanks to his cunning positional sense, which allows him to make vital interceptions in front of his defense.” And support this idea soon enough. “No player has added more interceptions than Carvalho (7) in Portugal’s Euro 2016 success campaign and since then has developed other facets of his game, such as the dribble – he has successfully completed his ten attempts in the league this season.” This list also includes two players who have already passed through Portugal . In sixth place comes the ex-benfiquista Nemanja Matic of Manchester United of Jose Mourinho , and in the first position appears Casemiro . The Brazilian, who has already played for FC Porto , is seen as a key player in the formation of Zinédine Zidane, with “more than twice the number of disarms (12 than any of the team mates at Real”).
