Portugal's success is not accidental, but based on their team spirit, tactical flexibility and personal ability. The Portuguese team showed a different style in this European Cup. They no longer rely on a single star, but build the team as a whole. There are excellent players in each position, and each player has a clear task and responsibility. Roberto Martinez, the head coach of the Portuguese team, is also a master of tactics. He flexibly adjusts the formation and tactics according to different opponents and matches, so that the Portuguese team can perform well at both ends of the attack and defense.
The success of the Portuguese team has brought new ideas and challenges to the European football world. They have proved that football is not a game for one person, but a game for a team.

Only constant changes can meet challenges. The success of Portugal has raised a problem for other European teams, that is, how to break the defense of Portugal, how to deal with the attack of Portugal, and how to compete with Portugal psychologically and physically.
