Portugal vs Switzerland: Team News
Cristiano Ronaldo will undoubtedly spearhead the Portuguese attack against the Swiss, but there is a new star rising through the ranks.
Joao Felix has attracted admiring glances from the biggest teams in Europe following a stunning campaign with Benfica and Portugal head coach Santos has trusted the starlet to make the difference.
“He’s been called up for a reason,” he said of the 19-year-old, who is being tracked by both Manchester United and Manchester City.
“We need to call up players who can contribute, he has great qualities, he has been showing it at club level and he’s one of 23 players who are here on merit, and if he’s here it’s because he’s ready to play and contribute.
“Everyone is training well, they’re really up for the game and we’re not thinking further ahead than tomorrow.”
Switzerland approach the semi-final as underdogs but boast the talent and togetherness to harm the Portuguese.
Granit Xhaka is hoping to make history with the trophyless Swiss a week on from playing a part in Arsenal’s galling 4-1 Europa League final defeat to Chelsea in Baku.
“It was disappointing to lose the final,” the midfielder said.
“We wanted to win the title and move up to the Champions League but it didn’t work out.
“However, since arriving here in Portugal I have focused fully on the national team, what happened, happened.
“We look forward now and I hope to win a title with Switzerland.”
