Navigator Portugal has not been absent from their sixth World Cup final this century, and may even be ranked among the top 10 favorites in every session, but that’s about it. They stopped twice in the round of 16. EC Lang Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t played since his European Championship debut in 2004. As a boy chasing the wind at the last stage of his football career at the age of 37, he failed to win the competition’s golden cup while Considering his age and his status, Qatar will be one of them.
Portugal is Southern Europe’s gateway to the Atlantic Ocean. Football also incorporates a variety of styles. You can see Latin, Brazilian, Latin American and Traditional English styles in one furnace. There is also a lot of talent, especially wing players on both sides. However, producing a large number of high-value wingers has also resulted in a lack of players in other positions. At the same time, although dribbling and dribbling are destructive and pleasing to the eye, they lack the ultimate finisher in front of the objective and the organizational model and the level in between.
Since the middle of his career, C Lang has gradually moved to striker or even centre-forward, but has not completely solved the problem, because the national team has never been like a club, there is no midfielder for more players, and no one it can open up space for him. After the 2014 World Cup, former head coach Fernando Santos steadfastly implemented defensive counter-attacks, consolidating the defense line first, and the engineer-type midfielder’s main task is to accelerate the pace of transition, passing the ball a C Lang o Bernardo Siliva , Zuo · João Félix, Diogo Jota and others then gave free rein to their talents, also attached great importance to dead-kick tactics to create goal-scoring chances.
This hands-on style helped Navigator win the European Nations Cup in 2016 and the UEFA Nations League in the 2018-19 season. After becoming a marginalized person, a vicious circle is formed, and it may be difficult to go to Qatar in the strongest state and bring new problems. Resolutely abandon it may be a good option, but C Lang’s role in army cohesion and captain’s command ability is still difficult to replace.
Grouping cycle Portugal are in group H with Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana. It will be a tough battle, but the problem of qualification should not be too big, but we have to fight for the top of the list to avoid the top 16 and will meet the Brazil, who will most likely win the top of Group G. There is also pressure. While Voyager may win the knockout stage for the first time in 16 years, the likelihood of making the top 4 isn’t too high and the top 8 is the qualifying standard.
