Portugal enters the tournament against the Czech Republic this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.). For this galaxy of stars, the challenge this summer will be to forget the poor performances of the last major international competitions.

We left Portugal for Qatar a year and a half ago, after an early elimination against Morocco. Cristiano Ronaldo did not hide his immense disappointment. But water has flowed under the bridge, and the five-time Ballon d’Or is setting off again for one last crusade. Exit Fernando Santos, with whom relations had deteriorated: room for Roberto Martinez.

Ronaldo on deck!

Between CR7 and the former Belgium coach, everything is fluid. The Portugal coach should prove it again this Tuesday since the superstar is expected at the kick-off of this very important match. “ I am ready physically and psychologically. I did the best preparation possible because I am 100% professional “, explained Ronaldo. “ I am always ready to help the country. But I fully respect the coach’s decision “, did he declare.

Alongside Ronaldo, the offensive sector will be well stocked for the Portuguese. Rafael Leao is tipped to start, just like Joao Felix or Bruno Fernandes. The Parisian Nuno Mendes should also start, unlike Danilo and Gonçalo Ramos.

The expected line-up for Portugal : Diogo Costa – Ruben Dias, Pepe, Inacio – Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Neves, Nuno Mendes – Joao Felix – Ronaldo, Leao.
