The 1/8 finals of the European Cup will continue to play 2 good games!
In the first game, at 0:00 a.m. on July 2, in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, France played Belgium. Both teams did not play at the level they should have, and their performances in the group stage were a bit disappointing. The offensive efficiency is average, and the team's combat effectiveness is not strong. France, for their part, have yet to score in the open game. On the Belgian side, Lukaku doesn't know how many chances he wasted.
Head-to-head: France have won all four matches against Belgium in the competition, and the last time they met in the tournament was in the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, where France won 1-0 to advance. France is a bit difficult to do this time.
The second one is the main event! At 3 o'clock in the morning, Portugal played Slovenia, and the difference in strength between the two teams was not small. Portugal played bravely in the group stage, winning two consecutive games to advance to the first round, and then made a large rotation, and ended with a small loss in the third game, but also locked up the top spot. Slovenia drew 3 times in a row in the group stage, without a win, and had a mediocre performance. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to continue to start, and whether he can score will become a big concern.
It is expected that Portugal will try to settle the battle within 90 minutes and avoid the draw from dragging into extra time or even penalties. So far, only one of the four knockout matches has occurred in extra time, that is, England defeated Slovakia 2-1 in extra time to advance to the last eight. There has been no penalty shoot-out yet. In the past 4 knockout games, there have also been upsets, with Italy going out 0-1, which is because the team is not strong in attacking and the defense is not in place.
Nowadays, the European Championship is frequent, which also makes people worry a lot. France and Belgium are in suspense, and Portugal is trying to avoid the embarrassment of being out of the tournament.
The author boldly speculates that France may be out of the tournament, and the team's style of play is a bit old. Romelu Lukaku is expected to regain his shooting boots. Slovenia will have a hard time playing the dark horse or losing to Portugal. Ronaldo's popularity is high, and the market does not want Ronaldo to be out early......
