Strength Analysis

Portugal has lost two games in a row . Cristiano Ronaldo , who lacks explosiveness and physical strength, not only has to occupy a starting position, but coach Roberto Martinez cannot easily replace him in advance. The performance of other attackers such as Zuo Feliz and Rafael Liao was not as good as expected. If it were not for goalkeeper D. Costa 's three consecutive saves, Portugal would have gone home. France is full of stars, and there are stars on all three lines. Although Kilian McBaby is not in the best condition, he can divert the attention of the Portuguese defense on the court and create more offensive opportunities for his teammates, not to mention the start-up. Kilian McBaby was unstoppable, which also put great pressure on the Portuguese defenders. France has only conceded 1 goal in 4 European Cup games, and its defense is watertight, which further increases the team's chances of winning. It is worth mentioning that the two sides have met in the European Cup knockout rounds three times before, and the winning side eventually won the championship.

Team leader comparison

After taking over the Portuguese coaching position at the beginning of last year, R. Martinez re-established the team-building idea with Cristiano Ronaldo as the core, but the 39-year-old Ronaldo could not serve as the tactical core, which caused confusion in the team's technical and tactical play. In addition, R. Martinez's offensive routines were already well known by all teams, and he needed more tactical changes to lead the team further. Didier Claude Deschamps played for big clubs during his playing career, so he is good at dealing with big-name stars, and his strict discipline can keep the locker room stable in France, which is full of stars, so that the team can fully exert its due combat power.

Key players

Although Cristiano Ronaldo has played against Killian McBaby 4 times before , he scored 5 goals and led the team to 3 wins and 1 draw, while the latter did not score a goal. But times have changed, and now Cristiano Ronaldo's athletic ability has seriously deteriorated. He can't win with his head, can't hold the ball with his feet, and can't pass people without his explosive power. On the other hand , Killian McBaby has terrifying explosive power and sprint speed, currently averaging 4.7 dribbles per game. Kilian McBaby has only scored 1 goal in 7 European Cup games. If he can regain the scoring feeling in the World Cup (12 goals in 14 games), France will not be a dream to win.
