Cairo
Despite being a footballing legend, his performance in the game could be Portugal's weak link as he gets older.
Said Boboski: "I've been saying for a long time that if Crowe starts, he will be one of Portugal's weakest links. Fans of both teams would go crazy for him, but at his current age he is not as good as his younger teammates at organizing and pressing. That's more favorable for the Czechs."
He further explained, "I don't think Cairo will realize it, I salute him for what he's doing, it's down to his confidence, but you can't stop age, he's 39." Bobowski also mentioned that the situation with Portugal's head coach Martinez is unclear, but former coach Santos had similar problems during the World Cup.
For the upcoming match, Bobowski made a prediction, "I expect Portugal to start the match with the upper hand, with the tactics they have chosen, a lot of running without the ball with fast attacks. There is no doubt that Portugal is one of the three or four favorites for this Euro."
