Portugal
Portugal has high ambitions in the group, and they are aiming for the first place. The hosts have a great team with a lot of experienced players, and it will be interesting to watch Portugal. Bruno Fernandes plays perfectly at Manchester United, and he is one of the best midfielders in the world. He has excellent movements, good composure in front of the opponents’ goal, and he excellently converts penalty kicks. Bernardo Silva played great in Manchester City and had a lot of good assists this season. He is unstoppable in a one-to-one game, and he plays well in the national team. Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest star of the national team, he is a football machine, and it is a real pleasure to watch this man. He had an excellent individual season with Juventus, as they won the Serie A title. Fernando Santos does a great job, he has the energy that drives the national team, and he demands that the players do their best in every match.
Croatia
Croatia will be looking for their chance in a strong group. They know how to surprise favorites, and the away side was the biggest overachiever in the latest World Cup. There are many good players in the national team, and it isn’t easy to decide who will be in the starting lineup. Many players lead in their clubs, while many young players provide great games. Mario Pasalic is a tremendous defensive midfielder who knows what he is doing at all times, he is strong, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. He played with Atalanta in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and many clubs are interested in this guy. Ivan Perisic enjoys on the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He won the Champions League with Bayern Munich and had a significant role, all praise for him. Mateo Kovačić plays excellently in both directions, and he doesn’t allow his opponents to play much in the middle of the field. Mislav Orsic plays great in Dinamo Zagreb, and he has improved a lot. He is doing great in the penalty area, has excellent movement, and he should be the future leader in the national team.
