In the early morning of July 2, Beijing time, in a key battle in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, Portugal eliminated Slovenia 3-0 in a penalty shootout, advanced to the top 8 without danger, and successfully met France. In this game, Ronaldo did not score and missed a penalty, and the overall performance was sluggish, but there was an even worse star in the Portuguese team, that is, the core of the midfield, Bruno Fernandes (referred to as B Fee), fortunately, goalkeeper Costa made 3 saves in the penalty shootout to avoid Portugal's upset.
In this European Cup, B Fei is one of the main players of Portugal, and B is responsible for organizing the tandem in the midfield, starting the first two games of the group stage three times in a row, including one goal against Turkey, which is also his first European Cup goal.
Coming to the knockout stage, B Fei continued to start the game and ushered in his 7th European Cup game, and he needed to pass the ball to Ronaldo and Leao in the front court in conjunction with B. Compared to B Fei who is close to the middle, B tends to move more on the wing, breaking through with the ball and passing the ball into the box.
In the first half, Portugal had no shots on target in 5 shots, which was also the fewest number of shots and shots on target in the first half of this European Cup, reflecting the poor midfield organization led by B Fee.
Compared with the B seat, B Fei was like sleepwalking in the first half, almost no one saw him, and he was also called on by the fans to hurry up and replace him, so it was better to send Jota.
In the second half, B Fei was still the same, contributing little to Portugal's attack, making many mistakes in passing, Ronaldo's single shot at the last moment, a straight plug from Jota, and then in extra time, losing the ball again and again affected Portugal's offensive efficiency and speed.
It can be said that the only contribution of B Fei in this game was the penalty shootout, which helped Portugal eliminate the opponent 3-0 on aggregate to advance.
According to statistics, B Fei started the full 120 minutes, no goals, no assists, no successful dribbles, and although he made 4 key passes, he also lost the ball a game-high 40 times, with a pass success rate of only 76.5%.
Judging from the number of times he lost the ball 40 times, it shows how bad B Fei played in this game, either leading to the end of Portugal's attack, or giving the opponent a chance to counterattack, the opponent is only Slovenia, and so on until the next 1/4 final against France, B Fei continued to play like this, Portugal's midfield attack is paralyzed, and it is difficult for Ronaldo's strikers to get a chance to shoot.
