Bettencourt shoulders a heavy dual workload at centre, combining consistent ball-carrying with a high defensive output that rarely dips across matches. His tackle numbers are particularly striking, averaging over nine per game with a peak of eleven, pointing to a player who is heavily involved in organising and executing Portugal's defensive line. The carrying metres he produces each game suggest he is trusted to gain ground through contact rather than space.
