Portugal out: Germany in 2024 European Cup Review of qualifiers
Germany in 2024 European Cup The qualifying match ended, and the biggest surprise was Portugal's exit. As the defending champion of the European Cup and a strong team in football in recent years, Portugal's failure in the qualifiers has attracted extensive attention and discussion.
The Portuguese team encountered a series of challenges and difficulties in the qualifiers. First of all, their Group D is considered to be one of the most competitive groups in this qualifier, with strong German, Dutch and Swedish teams in the same group. Such an opponent's lineup makes the way of Portugal's promotion extremely difficult.
Portugal's performance in the group match was not outstanding. They only achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 6 matches. Although they showed strong firepower on the offensive side, the problems on the defensive side have always troubled them. In the group match, Portugal conceded 9 goals in total, which is unacceptable for a defending champion.
What is particularly surprising is that Portugal lost the crucial game against Germany. This game is regarded as the final battle of the group match, and both teams are eager to win. However, the Portuguese team failed to find a way to break through the German team's defense line in the game, and finally lost 2-0. This defeat became the key factor that prevented them from progressing.
The Portuguese team's exit triggered discussions among fans and the media. Some people think that Portugal's rest time after the European Cup is not enough, and the players' state and physical ability have been affected. Others pointed out that the Portuguese team had problems in the adjustment of the lineup, and did not find the best starting lineup and tactical system.
Whatever the reason, Portugal's exit undoubtedly brought disappointment and frustration to their fans. As defending champions, they could have expected better results and a deeper journey. However, football matches are like this. Victory and failure are often only on the front line.
For Portugal, this exit is an opportunity for vigilance and reflection. They need to examine their problems and make necessary changes and adjustments. Only in this way can they regain their competitiveness and glory in the future competitions.
The end of the European Cup qualifier in Germany also means that the official competition stage is about to enter. All teams will strive for the glory of the European Cup. Looking forward to this grand event, we believe that there will be more wonderful surprises waiting for us.
