With Portugal and the Czech Republic also picking up three points in the first round of the group stage, the battle between the two sides will not only determine who will qualify early, but also determine who is most likely to meet the mighty German in the first round of the knockout round.

Despite winning both of their opening games, Portugal won convincingly against Turkey and the Czechs were lucky, so it's no wonder that Platini has publicly criticised the Czechs for playing rather ugly.

Although the most haode counterattack is not words, the head coach of the Czech team, Brückner, can't help but stand up and express his dissatisfaction.

'It wasn't fair that we won the opening game and we were criticised,' said the veteran coach Brückner, "and the first goal was to get all three points, not to play a good game. “

At the same time, Brückner added: "I think Portugal are the favourites to win this European Championship and it will not be easy to beat them, we have to improve our performance in all aspects. I admit that we still have a certain gap in attack compared to them, but that doesn't mean we are weaker than them. We have to be defensive first and foremost in this game, and we have to counter-attack at the right time, that's our tactic. As long as we are on the pitch, the Czechs don't have no chances. It's going to be a tough game. ”

The Czech Republic had just beaten hosts Switzerland 1-0 in the group stage of the European Championship to get off to a good start and take the initiative in Group A.

However, the stalwart of the defence and captain of the team, Ouj Farushi, appeared very calm, reminding his team-mates not to forget the nightmare of the 2006 Shijie Cup in Germany and not to dwell too much on the victory in the opening game.

Czech captain Ujfarusi stressed this point in an interview: "Of course everyone knows that we can't just sit on our laurels. We have to learn the lessons of the defeat in the Shijie Cup in Germany so that we can play better in the later games. ”

Two years ago in Germany's Shijie Cup, the Czechs got off to a perfect start with a 3-0 win over the United States in their opening game, but in the end they lost to Ghana and Italy in quick succession. That's why Ujfarusi reminds his teammates to stay calm at all times.

For the Czech team, the strength of the Portuguese national team is very strong, and it will be difficult to beat the Portuguese national team, but this does not mean that the Czech team does not have a chance. Although Nedved and Rossiki missed the European Championship due to injury, the Czech team also has its own advantages.

The Czechs do have a certain advantage, and that is their goalkeeper.

The Czech team is indeed very tough in the goalkeeper ring, and although the former Shijie No. 1 goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech has been slightly reduced due to injury, he is still the biggest contender for Shijie No. 1 and is also firmly in the position of Shijie's top three goalkeepers.

With Peter61 Cech in the Czech goal, the strength of the Czech team should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Czech team is currently injury-free, and Brückner can send all the main players into the game. The Czechs will certainly have the same line-up as they did in the first game, with high striker Kohler up front and Barosh, the top scorer at last European Championship, as a substitute.

The Czech boss was also not too concerned about Portugal's flashy frontcourt combination, and in a follow-up interview, he said: "Portugal have a strong frontline, but after a few days of rest, we are ready for the challenge. We've done a good job of studying the Portuguese team, and when you're well prepared, even a team like Portugal won't scare you. I've done special training on their tactics. Maybe it's not going to be easy to beat Portugal, but I have confidence in my players. ”

It can be seen that the whole Czech team is still very confident in this game, and they do not think that the Portuguese national team will win steadily.

On the Portuguese side, Scolari is also likely to field the same line-up as in the opening game. And in order to secure the top spot in the group, the Brazilian coach will still play the attacking card, and Portugal's tactic has been vividly displayed in the first match against Turkey.

Although, in the first game, there was a little friction between Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, but Scolari believes that this will not affect the strength of the Portuguese team, he believes that there is no need to worry, this squad is still the strongest squad of the Portuguese national team.

Speaking to reporters before the game, Scolari said: "Although both teams are Jishuliu teams, it is clear that our Jishu is stronger and more flexible. So we have to be able to get the best out of the jishu level. ”

Scolari also emphasized: "Tomorrow's Portugal will be the same as the one that beat Turkey. We also had good players on the bench, like Mela. His body will be an important weapon against the Czechs, who have an average height of 1.84 meters. ”

Yes, the members of the Czech national team are generally in excellent physical condition and tall in stature. Portugal are also at a real disadvantage in this regard, especially the gap between the backline and Czech centre-forward Jankoller.

Although Portugal beat Turkey by two goals in the first round, Portugal's performance was praised by the domestic media and even the whole of Europe. Many experts even believe that Portugal is no longer a quasi-first-class team in Europe, but has grown into a super team in Europe, and they have the strength to win this European championship.

However, against the tall Czechs, they may not be able to win the opponent.

Rui 61 Costa, the leader of Portugal's "Golden Generation", said before the game: "This Portuguese national team is really strong, and it is shockingly strong. I'm a big fan of this team now. However, even so, the Portuguese national team cannot afford to underestimate the Czech team, which is a strong team and we have suffered at their hands in the past. ”

Rui 61 Costa was referring to the quarter-finals of Euro 1996, when Portugal's opponents were the Czechs. At that time, the Portuguese national team was knocked out of the final by the genius of the Czech team Poboski.

Although Rui 61 Costa was reminding the Portuguese team, he did not forget to praise Qiu Ze: "Chris has had a really amazing season, he is the most Haode player on Shijie right now, if he can still repeat this performance in the second half of the year, I am sure he will win the Ballon d'Or." ”

After learning that Rui 61 Costa had done that to him, Qiu Ze's heart was very excited. In Qiu Ze's heart, Rui 61 Costa is similar to his teacher, and he respects Rui 61 Costa very much. Rui 61 Costa was able to praise him in front of so many people, and he was understandably excited.

However, Qiu Ze did not get carried away, he knew what Rui 61 Costa meant by admiring him alone.

At this time, as a good player, it is even more important to keep a clear head and not be knocked down by these sugar-coated shells, after all, there is a crucial game in front of him.

For this game, the Portuguese team intends to complete the battle and win the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" to qualify, while the Czech team's wishful thinking is to try not to lose points against the Portuguese team, and then step on the shoulders of the Turkish team in the Zuihou round to qualify.

This game can be described as a "battle of contradictions". Portugal's attacking midfield group led by Qiu Ze has a lot of mobility and deterrence, while the Czech Republic conceded one of the fewest goals in the qualifying stage in the round of 16, and in the last round, they defended to defuse the huge pressure against the hosts and won the game.

With the Portuguese national team's sharp attack and the Czech team's tough defense, this game is a battle of contradictions. Let's see if it's the sharpness of the Portuguese spear or the stronger shield of the Czechs.

Both teams are now in the preparation stage for Zuihou, which is also the busiest time for major journalists, and they all hope to be able to seize some gossip at this time to try to increase the sales of the newspaper and their own popularity.

At this time, there was a very striking thing, that is, the day before the game, the Portuguese national team did not go to the field of play to step on the field, which surprised the reporters waiting there, they could not imagine that the Portuguese national team would not step on the field.

Some people are speculating that this time, what the hell is the Portuguese national team doing? Could it be that they are studying the secret of "breaking shortcuts"?

Actually, it's not like that, the main thing is that the Portuguese national team has already played a game in the stadium, they are already very familiar with the stadium, they don't think there is any need to step on the stadium again, they are familiar with the stadium.

With this time, they might as well train more tactical routines at the training base, which is better, so they didn't go to the field before the game.

They were very familiar with the general situation at the Stade de Genève and as for some of the special situations on the day of the game, they could get used to it when they warmed up before the game and they thought it was enough.

Soon, the time came for the day of the game, and there were two more games to be played on this day. The first is a match between Portugal and the Czech Republic, and the second is a match between Switzerland and Turkey.

Now the players of the Portuguese national team are preparing for the upcoming matches. And those reporters did not interview the Portuguese players when they were on the field, and they flocked to the hotel where the Portuguese national team was staying.

Seeing these reporters pouring in, the players of the Portuguese national team did not ignore them, most of them are still very good, and many people have been interviewed.

One of them, the Portuguese midfielder Deco, said this in front of reporters: "The idea is to fight for victory and then qualify from the group. "This guy's statement seems simple, but in fact he has a clear purpose and full of confidence, which shows that the Portuguese national team is determined to win this game.

Of course, as the two most popular stars in the Portuguese national team, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo are naturally sought after by media reporters, but Cristiano 61 Ronaldo did not agree to the reporters' interviews.

It can be seen that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's current mood is actually not particularly good.

However, Qiu Ze was interviewed by reporters, which made these reporters think that the trip was worthwhile.

Qiu Ze said in an interview with reporters: "Rui is right, the Czech team is not a fish belly, their strength is very good. We have to give it our all, otherwise we will regret it. Of course, we won't let that happen, we're going to try to fight and it's important for us to win this game. ”

At the same time, Portugal coach Scolari did not dare to underestimate the Czech team: "What I am afraid of is the history and tradition of our opponents. They've played more Shijie Cup and European Championships than we do, so I think it's going to be a close game. ”

Indeed, Czechoslovakia reached the 1934 and 1962 Shijie Cup finals and won Euro 1976, and after independence, the Czechoslovakia reached the final of Euro 1996 and the last time out.

Of course, Portugal have also been in good form in recent years, reaching the semi-finals of the European Championship in 2000 and reaching the final of the tournament on home soil. However, Scolari is not lying, Portugal is indeed a little worse.

However, the Portuguese side are not afraid of the Czechs, they see this as a very good chance for revenge, and they are full of confidence.

Counting the former Czechoslovak period, the two countries met ten times (the friendly match of a 1-1 draw in June 1926 was not recognized by the Czechs, so it was not counted), and the Czechs had a slight advantage of four wins, three draws and three losses. Therefore, Portugal really does not have the qualifications to underestimate their opponents.

The law enforcement coach of this campaign is the Greek "judge" Vasalas, who has officiated the Czech Republic and Portugal in the matches of the two teams have a good record, the 2002 Shijie Cup qualifiers Czech Republic defeated Iceland 4-0, and the 2008 qualifiers defeated Ireland 1-0 by Vasalas; Portugal's 3-2 win over Sweden in the 2002 warm-up round, Russia's 7-1 sweep in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers and a 4-0 win over Belgium in the Euro 2008 qualifiers were all completed by Vasalas.
