With Cristiano Ronaldo, this is the starting lineup for Portugal vs Slovakia

Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo have a new commitment in the qualifying rounds for EURO 2024. The Portuguese team faces Slovakia and a victory would practically ensure Portugal's presence in the highest European competition at the national team level. It is worth remembering that in 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates managed to become champions of this historic tournament after beating France at home.

Portugal faces Slovakia this Friday precisely in Dragão, in a match that, if they win, will guarantee their place at the Euro 2024 Championship in Germany. "It is important to be tactically flexible. I am very happy with our flexibility. I think that our players, with two or three training sessions, they can execute different tactical ideas, and that is important," Martínez said at a press conference at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto.

For its part, Slovakia arrives with determination, since a positive result in Iberian lands would bring them significantly closer to securing their place in the Euro Cup. In the midst of intense competition for the top spots in Group J, this matchup is crucial for both teams. In Portugal's starting lineup, the presence of the Al Nassr forward was surprising once again.
