Portugal finalizes key matches and adapts to the World Cup in advance, Ronaldo breaks rumors

Just now, according to the exact news brought by theathletic, Portugal is about to finalize a key friendly match. The game date is in March next year, which is the last national team match day window before the arrival of the World Cup. Most of the World Cup teams have chosen to make the final adjustments to the overall lineup in March. And then finalizing a suitable game will be a good drill for the team.

For Portugal, they have seen hope for a World Cup championship after the team beat Spain to win the UEFA Champions League. In the past few years, the Portuguese team has emerged a large number of top players, and basically there are stars who play in giants and even play the main core in every position. Under the leadership of Ronaldo, the overall strength of the Portuguese team has improved rapidly. Although the team was unexpectedly defeated by Morocco in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. But in fact, their overall strength is now firmly at the forefront of the football world.

This can be seen from various competitions in the past two years. The Portuguese team has the strength to fight against strong teams such as Germany, France or Spain. It can even be said that no matter what team it faces, Portugal's victory is no longer a strange thing. Based on this, Portugal also saw hope for the team. If it can make good adjustments and practice tactics, then this Portuguese team will be able to create miracles in the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. The opponent they chose in the friendly match was the United States, one of the hosts. The two sides had contacted many times and the negotiations were very smooth. The official announcement was only short of this game.

To some extent, there are two benefits to choosing Team USA as a friendly match. First of all, the US team is the most suitable team that Portugal can meet in March next year. Because according to convention, before the competition comes, the real champion is the first and second teams, and they will not find opponents with similar strength to play friendly matches. On the one hand, I am afraid that the intensity will be too high and there will be injuries in the team. On the other hand, they are unwilling to expose their tactical style in advance.

In other words, before the arrival of the World Cup, the main purpose of each strong team was to find a team with not too strong to practice tactics, and to enhance the confidence of the whole team by winning. It is obvious that the US team, who is in poor form recently, is a good opponent. With the current state of Portugal, it is not difficult to defeat them easily. And they are not too weak, after all, FIFA's official ranking 15th, so the Portuguese team can fully play the role of running-in with the lineup. At the same time, the second point is that the location of this game will be at the home court of the United States. It is not yet certain which stadium it will be.

, and the Portuguese team went to the United States in March in advance for away games, which will help them adapt to the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup in advance, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. In addition, there is another thing to pay attention to. That is, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo had not been to the United States for many years due to his case with Mayora in the past. There are even rumors that Ronaldo cannot go to the United States to play games or conduct business activities. In recent years, he has indeed stopped following his club to the United States for business competitions, which seems to confirm the outside world's inference. However, with Ronaldo himself announcing his participation in next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, these doubts have disappeared.

Plus in March, Ronaldo will definitely go to the United States to play a friendly match with the team. Therefore, this is also a response to external doubts. For Portuguese star, he attaches great importance to the upcoming US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, which will be his last time to win the championship in a major competition. So in your opinion, what kind of score will the Portuguese team play against the US team led by Pochettino at this stage? Everyone is welcome to discuss in the comment section.
