Winner of Euro 2016, Portugal occupy first place in group A with one day from the end of the group stage. The problem ? Serbia, its runner-up, has exactly the same number of points. And this Sunday (8:45 p.m.), the Seleção das Quinas precisely faces the White Eagles, in a decisive meeting.
While the president of the selection of Serbia promised these players 1 million euros in case of victory against Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will try to win this victory to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Suddenly, we expect a match that will be hotly contested with huge stakes.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates remain on a poor performance against Ireland (0-0), relegated very far in the standings and without particular ambitions, while Dusan Vlahovic and his family took advantage of a friendly match against Qatar for fill up with confidence (4-0). Nevertheless, Portugal is still in a favorable position, as its coach recalled after his team’s draw last Thursday: “I am satisfied with the result. In terms of standings, winning 5-0 or drawing it was the same thing. Of course I would have preferred to win 5-0, but the result is positive. […] It was not a great game on our part, not what we were hoping for, but we must also remember the fact that we are in a favorable situation to qualify. ” To put it simply: in order to validate his ticket for the next World Cup without going through the dams, the Portuguese selection must avoid defeat this Sunday.
But, it will not be easy with a selection of Serbia who have weapons to harm and play a bad trick on the gang at CR7. Tadić-Vlahović-Mitrović. With such an attacking trio and the attacking game advocated by Piksi, Serbia has everything to link words to deeds against sad 2016 European champions. The first named is the best passer in Europe over the calendar year. in progress (34) and its influence in selection is no longer to be proven. A bad Tadić, and it is all the animation that can hurt. The other Dušan, the powerful and skilful Vlahović, has stepped up in Serie A, eclipsing Luka Jović in the selection.
Courted on the side of Turin, London or Madrid, the nugget is now one of the best gunners in Italy, while its complementarity with Golgoth Mitrović is skyrocketing. The Fulham striker, not content with no longer being the only elusive one with the Orlovi, has a crazy season in the Championship (20 pawns in 17 games).
