Germany's advantage is the options that they have. Yes, a front-4 of Havertz, Wirtz, Gündogan and Musiala is rather narrow and reliant on intricate short passing and fluidity. But replace one of them with Sané and you quickly add more width. Or add Beier for more pace and directness. Or Füllkrug for the traditional center forward role. And so on.
Germany can basically switch between different approaches seamlessly, as could be seen in the recent friendlies. If the "4 x #10" approach doesn't work (I think it will work best against "big teams"), there are other options that will.
You guys leave this job go give messi blw job
Let’s hope Gab’s vendetta against Ronaldo doesn’t continue for this tournament and he shows more respect to the GOAT
Ronaldo still got it and is the best striker Portugal have. They have other options who can share minutes with him in Jota and Ramos. I don't care if he is 39. I wouldn't care if he was 43. I hit a PB in Benchpress at 43 with 200kg. I know speed isn't the same, but consider all the other attributes he have.
Lukaku… Belgium have an easy group so there will be a ton of goals
gotta be mbappe, he is way way better than all other attackers in France. cr7 got some scorers around him, and so does Kane.
Unfortunately, nobody rates penaldo. He is a finished merchant sulking in 6 yards for the tapins…. flat track bully when playing against minnows but exposed badly against decent teams.. clear baggage to the team
why do this ppl hate cr7 young cr7 was fast n skillful like mbappe and old cr7 is more like harry kane slow when running but deadly in the box or near the box so if im the one making decisions i dont see my self leaving this guy out as we need goals to win and not pressing
Honestly as Portugals Leading goalscorer this year idk how u can drop him
So who wins the Pressing Boot?
Why does epsn continue this foolishness anti ronaldo biased?! I'm a huge psg fan and watch their games ramos is si overrated and was played and given chances galore throughout the season and wasn't psg ideal striker. Ronaldo constantly proves himself in every league and you guys still question him and praise messi FOR SVORING GOALS AGAINST CLUBS LIKE DC UNITED?! (I live in DC lol) ronaldo could win the euros and you guys will say he doesnt deserve it. He can't do anything right for you disgraceful
Cristiano not running defensively is now a problem? Messi and Mbappe have both made a career ouy of that.
Je suis deçu de ton analyse Julien. Serieux? Objectivement même à 39ans, Ronaldo est meilleur que Ramos. On s'en fou du pressing, tu as bien dit l'autre fois que la Croatie a pu battre ce pressing facilement so a quoi bon presser avec autant d'intensité. Il y a des equipes qui gagnent sans le faire notament ton equipe de France remember? Kylian ne presse pas du tout…il a les jambes pr le faire hein. L'influence de CR7 NE SE LIMITE PAS AU PRESSING for Godssake. You two are best pundits in ESPNFC and yet when it comes to Cris, it is the same. You clearly show that you don't like him
Video Title is about Golden Boot, and they talk about Ronaldo unable to press.
Penaldo wasn't the top scorer in 2016, how do you expect him to be a top scorer at 40
He'll get his 1000th goal in the final inshallah
The producers were like please stop arguing about this 25 v 26 players argument that no one cares about 😂
Giroud according to these clowns isn't old enough to be a starter for France. It's almighty CR7 that is easy for them to point out. CR7 had only one bad season which was his last at UTD cos he got a lot going on personally. His problem will never be his age. He is the best porcher even at 39. Put some respect 🙌🏾👌🏾
Considering the group Portugal are in and the quality they have all over the squad, I wouldn't be surprised if CR7 is the top scorer of the tournament.
An easy group is critical, just look at Kane at the 2018 WC.
Lukaku also has a good chance, but Belgium are less likely to make a deep run than Portugal.
Scamacca 🪙🥾
Jules needs to shut up, Ronaldo is still the best striker Portugal have by far
Lol on what planet & in which dimension is Ronaldo getting the golden boot, at this advanced age?
7:42 Pellegrini is a finished player. He isnt even 30 yet
lol they keep on bashing Cristiano, there is no way this Portugal win the Euro without CR7.
Nothing to see hear. Just dumb and dumber having a conversation.
Who would they drop him for who is this player that’s so much better up front for them
@Juls: if you are reading this, you are so naive and ignorant and you hate Ronaldo so much that you would prefer to play Ramos against France, the same Ramos who has bottled in French League but you will not give up on this self created pressing item. Ramos never presses, Ronaldo and Messi have never pressed in their lives for God sake. Portugal team learnt the lesson of starting with Ramos against Morocco and the way you are talking about it as-if Portugal won the last World Cup. You guys are shameless
It’s so ironic that Gab has simply cut Ronaldo’s 50+ goals into half in the same league where Benzema is struggling, Neymar struggled till he got injured, Firminiho struggled… the way they quote Saudi league as if it’s PS5, these guys are so ignorant and naive
What nonsense from Gab. Havertz is compete dog breath. He’s absolute pony.
Ivan Toney would be far more productive and a much better outlet for Arsenal
These people just don’t know what to say about him and hate to admit he might do well. It’s honestly amazing how they just glance over. I’ve never seen any other show do this. It’s shocking how much effort they put into discrediting him.
He doesn't need to press … He's still the best player in that spot if surrounded with the right players
Ronaldo brings goals & goals win tournaments. Ronaldo is the most experienced tournament winner there is. You guys just blab
Euro is better than world cup
Mbappe doesn't run but it's good. Ronaldo doesn't run but it's bad.
Portugal doesn't want to press. What!?
Negative news sell, A lot. Ronaldo is a big name, so We understand but at least when compliment his performance just ease on the but
Mbappe been on fire this season
I wanna know an instance where Ramos has proved himself as a better option than Ronaldo
I don't understand these guys, 39-year-old C.Ronaldo is still one of the best goalscorer in the world and yet they criticize him for not defending or pressing and yet they don't criticize the other younger strikers who are guilty of the same thing and don't score as much goals as he does. This is just weird. 😂
I believe Ronaldo as the better chance. Pulse Portugal 🇵🇹 as the weaker group.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING RONALDO SHOULDNT PLAY IN THE KO'S EVEN THOUGH WHEN PORTUGAL DROPPED HIM, THEY LOST TO MOROCCO.
Embape and Ronaldo would be my top picks Lukaku and Kane would not even be in the running it’s funny to bring them up at all.
These guys are so pathetic 😅😅 desperately wanting to get ronaldo to be dropped 😂😂 but it aint gonna happen this time😂😂 cry more 😂😂
expecting a 39 year old striker to backtrack and defend… lol kicking the same old erik ten hag can i see…
Strikers should be striking… if you're an erik ten hag manager you're not going to reach new heights when you' entire teams getting drained from backtracking then countering. Wearing out your striker… rolls eyes
But Messi dosnt mark he walks on the pitch
