At 02:45 a.m. Beijing time on June 10, the third round of the European League B Group will stage a focus battle, with Portugal led by C Ronaldo against the czech team with good strength.
In the first two rounds of the group stage, Portugal first drew 1-1 with Spain; Then, in the second round, he scored a big shot, beating Switzerland 4-0. In this case, after two rounds of group matches, Portugal won 1 win and 1 draw and accumulated 4 points, leading the table in Group B and dominating the table. However, the opponent Czech Republic is not ambiguous, the first two rounds of group matches, the Czech Republic team also 1 win 1 draw, accumulated 4 points, only with the goal difference disadvantage behind Portugal. This time, the Portuguese team met the Czech team, which can be described as the battle for the top spot in this group.
From 1996 to the present, Portugal and the Czech Republic have played each other three times, all in the European Cup matches, Portugal's record is 2 wins and 1 loss, which has a clear advantage. However, even so, I believe that Portugal coach Fernando Santos will not take it lightly, and is bound to sacrifice the strongest starting lineup in his mind. Here's a quick prediction of the list of starters Portugal may send out this game.
In the goalkeeper position, naturally it is still the main goalkeeper Patricio sitting in the Portuguese goal; In the backline, not surprisingly, manager Santos will send four tough players to sit in the back, and the four who are expected to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities will be Canselo, Pepe, Danilo Pereira and the big Paris wing Nuno Mendes. Among them, veteran Pepe will partner Danilo to continue to play as a double centre-back; Nuno Mendes and Manchester City boss Cancelo will be separated to the left and right, flying on both wings, playing an important role at both ends of the attack and defense.
In terms of midfield, it is not surprising that the main back of the Portuguese midfield responsible for intercepting the sweep will still be Ruben Neves; The duo with Ruben Neves should be midfielder Willian Carvalho, who plays for Real Betis in La Liga. In the attacking core position, it is naturally the Manchester United midfield ace Bruno Fernandez who leads Portugal's forward attacking line.
On the forward line, there is naturally no suspense, and The Portuguese superstar C Ronaldo will continue to lead the way and charge for the team in the front court; The two wingers who form a mutual support around Cristiano Ronaldo should be Manchester City's B seat and Liverpool's forward ace Diogo Jota. The trio will team up to form the strongest trident combination in Portugal's frontcourt.
In summary, the last 11 people expected by Portugal to play against the Czech Republic are: Patricio; Cancello, Pepe, Danilo Pereira, Nuno Mendes; Ruben Neves, Bruno Fernandez, William Carvalho; Seat B, Ronaldo, Jota
