"The Portuguese national team can win in the first semi-final match of the Nations League."
This was stated to Idman.biz by Aykhan Abbasov, head coach of the Azerbaijan national team under 21.
He shared his thoughts on the UEFA Nations League "Final Four". According to Abbasov, the Portuguese team in the first semi-final pair is not weaker than Germany: "The latest games also show this. They have Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the main stars of world football, in their squad. Although he is old, he sets records, increases the number of goals and games. I see Portugal as more fortunate in today's match. Although Germany is the favorite, Ronaldo's team will reach the final. In the other pair, I consider Spain stronger than France. They have performed better in recent years with young players, and even became European champions. For this reason, I consider Spain the favorite. I would like to see Spain and Portugal in the final."
The young expert said that if there is a Spain-Portugal final, the "red fury" will win. According to him, the youth of the Spanish squad and the motivation they received after becoming European champions can make the team the winner of the Nations League.
It should be noted that the semi-final stage of the UEFA Nations League will start today. The first game will be between the national teams of Germany and Portugal. The meeting will start at 23:00 Baku time. The other semi-final match will be held on June 5 between the national teams of Spain and France.
