Qwiss The idea that he couldn't head the ball was silly.
People do this a lot: they look at how someone plays in a particular setup and draw the conclusion that they can't play any other way. Sporting don't have wingers, their fullbacks are providing the width, so of course they don't whip the ball in a lot from the touchline. Their most common way of crossing was a longball from the leftback right to Gyökeres up front. Hallmark of Amorim football.
