After the training camp in Portugal, the Portuguese national team is heading towards Switzerland non-stop.

However, before the departure of the Portuguese national team, Portuguese President Cavaco 61 Silva received all the members of the Portuguese national team who are about to go to the European Football Championship at the presidential palace.

Cavaco 61 Silva shook hands with all the members of the national team during the meeting and took a photo with them. Kavaco 61 Silva said to the upcoming national football team: "The national team has achieved outstanding results in recent years, won the runner-up in the European Championship in 2004, and broke into the semi-finals in the 2006 Shijie Cup. ”

His Excellency the President also said: "I hope that the players of the Portuguese national team will continue to carry forward, play well and try to come back with a European Championship title." ”

At the same time, His Excellency the President said: "I believe in the ability and strength of our national team, and I think we will be able to achieve the desired result in this European Championship." ”

His Excellency the President Zuihou said: "All the people of Portugal love the national team and fully support the national team, and the Portuguese living in Switzerland and Portuguese fans will cheer for the national team. Come on, boys! ”

To tell the truth, this is the first time Qiu Ze has met the president of Portugal so closely, and Qiu Ze has been excited for a while. The Portuguese players who were received by the Portuguese president with Qiu Ze were extremely excited and showed very proud expressions.

After receiving the Portuguese president, the Portuguese national team boarded a plane to Switzerland to participate in this year's European Championships.

This is not the first time in the history of the tournament that the European Championship will be held in two countries, Switzerland and Austria, which will be jointly hosted by the two countries.

The group groupings of this European Championship are as follows: Group A: Czech Republic, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey; Group B: Austria, Germany, Croatia, Poland; Group C: France, Italy, Netherlands, Romania; Group D: Spain, Greece, Russia, Sweden.

The Portuguese national team is in Group A, where they are weaker and faces the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Turkey. The Portuguese national team is undoubtedly the strongest team in this group, and Portugal have almost no problem qualifying from the group, and there is no team in this group that can stop the strong Portuguese team.

With the Swiss team as hosts, they certainly have high expectations. Because Austria, who are the same hosts as them, are very weak, the hosts mainly fled the fate of being eliminated from the group, and everyone later pinned their hopes on the Swiss team.

However, the biggest trait of the Swiss team is tenacity, which is very important in the nature of a cup competition, and this is perhaps their best hope of qualifying from the group.

And the Turkish team is no longer the runner-up of the Shijie Cup in 2002, and the era of Hakan 61 Suk is over. The Star and Moon Legion is also on a rapid decline, having already missed Euro 2004 and the 2006 Shijie Cup in a row.

However, Turkey, under the leadership of coach Trim, has achieved very good results in the past year or so, and the Star and Moon Army has returned to a fierce style of play. Under Trim's tutelage, the Star-Moon Legion has become a competitive team.

Turkey may be the biggest favourites in this group other than the Portuguese national team.

As for the Czech national team, their first impression is - old!

Yes, the Czech national team is old! It is clear that they are no longer the same Czech team they were four years ago, and they are now much less powerful. Moreover, the team's core bosses Nedved and Rosicky have been injured one after another, which is a ruthless blow to the aging Czech team.

In this European Championship, it is not easy for the Czech team to enter the main competition, and it is very difficult for them to qualify from this group.

Looking at these three opponents, there is really no team that can compete with Portugal, and there is no pressure for the Portuguese national team to qualify from the group.

However, there is no mood of complacency and tail cocking within the Portuguese national team. They came calmly, without any other distractions, and they came here to win the European Championship that should have been theirs four years ago.

For the opponents in this group, the Portuguese team also attaches great importance to it, and Scolari has repeatedly emphasized that no opponent should be underestimated, and none of the teams that can appear on the stage of the European Championship are soft persimmons.

The players of the Portuguese national team do not look down on their opponents either, they are all preparing seriously.

After the end of the training camp in Portugal, the Portuguese national team immediately headed for Switzerland.

When the Portuguese national team arrived at the airport in Geneva, Switzerland, the stars of the Portuguese national team were frightened because they were greeted by a crowd of Portuguese fans, dressed in the Portuguese national team team and waving banners to welcome the arrival of the Portuguese national team.

Looking at the nearly 10,000 Portuguese fans, Qiu Ze was very moved, he really didn't expect that in distant Switzerland, they would be able to be welcomed by so many Portuguese fans.

There is still almost a week to go before the opening of the Switzerland 61 Austrian European Championship, and the average fan will not come to Switzerland so early, which shows that these fans are local Swiss fans. Seeing so many local Swiss fans coming to greet their team, Qiu Ze's heart was really warm.

In Switzerland, approximately 174,000 Portuguese citizens live. Most of them live in the French-speaking region, and it was they who flocked to the airport to welcome Scolari's team. Many fans waited for hours at Geneva airport to see the hero in their eyes. More fans stood on the sides of the street, waving Portuguese flags to the team buses heading to the Neuchâtel training base.

Nearly 1,000 fans even arrived at the Neuchâtel training base on motorbikes with the team bus. And there, around 10,000 fans are waiting for the stars of the Portuguese national team.

Looking at these enthusiastic fans, the players of the Portuguese national team were very moved, and Scolari was also very excited, and the players of the Portuguese national team stayed to thank these lovely fans and take photos and sign autographs with them.

The president of the Portuguese National Football Federation, Gilberto 61 Mardal, was also excited and moved when he saw this grand welcome ceremony.

"We knew that the local Portuguese immigrants would definitely welcome us, but it was completely beyond our expectations," Madair said. "It's something I'll never forget. Now, of course, we need to refocus our attention on the first match against Turkey. ”

After interacting with the fans at the training base, the players of the Portuguese national team dragged their tired bodies to Beau-Rivage, the hotel where the Portuguese national team stayed.

Located in French-speaking Switzerland, Neuchâtel is about an hour's drive from Geneva, and the century-old Hotel Beau-Rivage is probably the most famous building in town. Built in 1865, this family-owned hotel is famous for its involvement with the fate of the famous princess Sissi. This is where Princess Sisi spent the most important part of her life, when she was assassinated in 1898 on the shores of Lake Geneva outside the hotel.

To this day, the suite where Sissi once lived remains in its original appearance.

During this European Championship, the Portuguese team will stay here. The hotel has only 66 rooms in total and is a place to receive heads of state on weekdays. Because it is located on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, Beau-Rivage takes its name.

It is ideally located within walking distance of the business district and adjacent to the United Nations building and the international airport. Although it is located in the heart of the city, it is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle. The introduction on the homepage of the hotel's official website says, "Beau-Rivage, the word reminds you of a beautiful dream. Despite its proximity to the city, the only thing you can hear here is the sound of the sails of the ships waiting to set off and the cries of seagulls fighting for food. ”

The environment here is really nice, there is no noise of the metropolis, it is very quiet, it is a very quiet place. And in this hotel, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities, of course, there are also sports venues, such as swimming pools, billiard halls, tennis courts, etc.

Usually, the players of the Portuguese national team have a lot of places to go, so even if they stay here, the players of the Portuguese national team will not find it too boring.

On the evening of his arrival at the hotel, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, announced a discipline that no player should leave the hotel without permission. Also, you have to go to bed before 10 p.m. Of course, Scolari also continued to perpetuate his death order, which was to prohibit the so-called group of wives from approaching here, and his team was different from Loew's.

The difference between Loew and other managers is this, and other managers care about this very much. However, Loew believes that the wife group and family have a great role in promoting the performance of the players, so he even invited the wives of the German national team players to come to the hotel where the German team is staying and live with the German national team players.

This is the envy of the players of other teams, and the treatment of the guys in the German team is simply amazing. The players of the Portuguese national team were discussing this in private, and at that moment they wished Loew was the head coach of the Portuguese national team.

After arriving in Switzerland, the Portuguese national team began to prepare intensively, because the countdown to the opening of the European Championship has entered Zuihou. At this time, there is no reason why they should not be ready, and after four years of preparation, they don't want to waste it.

The Portuguese national team also had a warm-up match here ahead of the start of Euro 61 Austria in Switzerland, which was also a warm-up match for them before Euro 61 Austria in Switzerland, where they faced Georgia.

Georgia's strength is very weak, and the reason why the Portuguese national team arranged this game is very obvious, that is, to find the form and confidence of the players of the Portuguese national team. They hope that the players of the Portuguese national team will be able to get into form as soon as possible.

Many teams are looking for form for the main draw of the European Championship, and the warm-up opponents they find before the game are not strong.
