In the first round of the knockout round of the European Championship, the Portuguese team encountered a block from the Slovenian team. Although the game was very bumpy, the result was good, with Portugal knocking out Slovenia 3-0 on penalties. In the next round, Portugal's opponent is France. Even brighter than Costa! Portugal's 28-year-old iron waist broke out, shining all over the field, and the hope of winning against France was greatly increased.
In this game, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score with eight attempts on goal and missed a penalty opportunity, and Portugal did not have a chance to end the battle in extra time. Fortunately, Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa stepped up in this game, and he showed excellent saving skills, saving the first three penalties of Slovenian players in a row and leading the team to qualify.
With this match, Porto goalkeeper Costa officially became famous and became the player in the spotlight. Costa was good enough to finish the penalty shoot-out and was a big contributor to Portugal's promotion. There is one Portuguese player who is also crucial, with Palhinha having an on-field rating of 8.4, the highest in the Portuguese team and Costa 8.2.
Palhinha played for Fulham for 2 seasons, becoming the Premier League's single-season steal leader in a row, and his defensive attributes are full.

Palhinha played 120 minutes, won 19 aerial duels and completed nine tackles, four interceptions, two clearances, one foul and zero offs. Palhinha also had three shots, one on the woodwork, one dribbling and four fouls.
At 1.9 meters tall, Palhinha is tall, aggressive, and defensive hard, making him a true midfielder. Palhinha's attacking attributes are not as good as Rodri's, but they are also very good, with long-range shots and headers. And Palhinha's defense is good enough, and in the midfield position, Palhinha is definitely at the top.
Since the start of the European Championship, the French team, the favorite to win the championship, has not performed well. 1-0 Austria, 0-0 Netherlands, 1-1 Poland, 1-0 Belgium, scored three goals, including one penalty, and the opponent scored two own goals, and the French team slowly advanced. Although the veteran captain of the Portuguese team, Cristiano Ronaldo, is not on the line, the rest of the Portuguese team can now step up and lead the team.
Costa was a big guarantee for Portugal in the penalty shoot-out, with Palhinha defending the midfield and Leao breaking through strongly, and the overall strength of the Portuguese team was strong. Especially with super defender Palinha protecting the team, Portugal definitely have a chance to knock out France. Palhinha is so versatile, Bayern are not quick to make a move.
