The Portugal National Football team is all set to defend their Euro crown which they won in 2016. And the management would be keen to ensure that players hit form at the right time.
With the Euros next in line, teams would be gearing up for the big-ticket event this year. Portugal in particular would want to defend their crown successfully but with the competition being so tough, it ensures a challenge.
The national side Portugal happy to see three of their regular starters hit top gear this season in Bruno Fernandes, Andre Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo.
These three players have been in sensational form this season and we oversee why their form is so crucial to A Seleção.
BRUNO FERNANDES
The Manchester United mid-fielder has turned to the Premier League like fish to water. Within a flash, he has shown his intelligent and provided performances of genius which has made him a regular starter in Solskjær’s team.
Bruno Fernandes has scored 26 goals and provided 16 assists in the current season and with another 7 matches to go (if United reach the UEL final), he could well establish himself with an outstanding full debut season.
The creativity, intelligence and ability to consistently drive home top-class performances labels him to be a threat in the upcoming Euros.

ANDRÉ SILVA
The Frankfurt center-forward is another candidate who would threaten at the Euros.
He has scored 26 goals across all competitions this season, 25 of which has come in the Bundesliga.
Silva’s ability to find the back of the net and provide drive and stability as a center-forward are his best attributes which could help Portugal immensely in the Euros.
His partnership with Ronaldo is another key aspect to watch out.

CRISTIANO RONALDO
Well, is there ever a doubt when it comes to this man.
Ronaldo has been the shining light in a dull season for the Old Lady. Juventus are set to lose their Serie A title this season to Inter.
But a personally fantastic season for Cristiano Ronaldo is what Portugal would be looking at. The dynamite has scored 32 goals and provided 4 assists across all competitions this season.
The passion, drive and big-match player ability separates him from the rest. He is the supreme leader who would egg on his teammates in order to make a difference this season.
Portugal’s chances of winning the Euros again could come down to this Ronaldo’s form. He would be driven to succeed.
Ronaldo has provided 4 assists too which keeps the creativity in check.
A combination of the above trio keeps Portugal in the hunt all the way.
