Portugal vs Austria Football Euro 2016

Just passed the first round of Group F European Championship and Portugal and Austria already feel the urgency of victory, the first for prestige and sheer survival in the case of the latter.

The draw conceded in his debut in the competition for Ronaldo to the modest Iceland (1-1) makes it almost mandatory to get a win against Austria, who lost to Hungary and you need to score to not seriously compromised their qualification for eighth.

Thus, the game that on paper would settle who would finish top of the group, is played in a different configuration, with two teams fight more than a rich face a duel in need.

Portugal needs to redirect the image left against Iceland to re-position itself as a favorite for the final title, as they keep repeating their stars and coach.

Ronaldo himself, perhaps the leading candidate to end up as the star of the tournament, missed the first match and all his country hopes now that to take back to the selection and lead to a needed victory.

The team is still hanging from Real Madrid player and have not appeared criticism of his figure, but now their presence and importance in the field appears as essential.

The Madeira can also choose to be the first player to score in four European Championships, if not forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic before the Sweden.

But above all, Ronaldo must restore the battered image left Portugal on his debut and re-positioning its selection as a serious candidate for the title.

Fernando Santos can make any changes to the starting line and speculates that Ricardo Quaresma, who only participated in the last fifteen minutes against Iceland because dragged physical problems, is out in front of the Central.

Something similar happens with Danilo, who seems fully recovered from his back problems.
