Portugal’s squad is 8 times higher than Slovenia’s, revealing that SAO will play alongside Ronaldo

The Portuguese national team is urgently preparing for the big match against Slovenia in the round of 16 of EURO 2024. Before the match, coach Martinez’s team practiced very intensely.

From the perspective of experts, Portugal is rated much higher than Slovenia. If Ronaldo and his teammates are ranked 6th in FIFA, then for Slovenia, this number is 57. That is, in terms of FIFA rankings, the two teams are 51 places apart.

Portugal far surpasses the value of Slovenia’s squad

In terms of squad value, Portugal is far ahead of Slovenia. Coach Martinez has a team valued at 1.05 billion euros by Transfermarkt, ranking 3rd in the entire tournament. Meanwhile, Slovenia’s squad value is only 141 million euros, higher than Romania (92 million euros). Thus, Portugal’s squad value is 7.5 times higher than its opponent.

The most unfortunate thing for Portuguese fans, and also the reason why their group stage was not complete, is because superstar Ronaldo has not scored yet. This is the first time after 6 EUROs that Ronaldo did not score after the group stage even though CR7 had a total of 12 shots after 246 minutes of play.

In the latest training session, Ronaldo showed signs that he will continue to play in the Portugal team. That is CR7 along with stars like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Pepe, Dias, Dalot or Palhinha wearing red shirts during training sessions. These are all players in Portugal’s main squad. Therefore, fans believe that CR7 will continue to be present in Portugal’s main squad in the match against Slovenia.
