In the final round of the European zone of the World Cup preliminaries, Portugal defeated Armenia 9-1, creating the biggest victory in the team's history in the World Cup preliminaries, and strongly won the World Cup ticket.

Starting from the UEFA Nations League, Portugal has changed.

In the recent UEFA Nations League final, Portugal "upset" defeated Spain and won the third important tournament in the Ronaldo era. In this thrilling battle, Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes performed well, and when Ronaldo missed the game due to red card suspension, Gonzalo Ramos stepped up again. The "Paris Four" are trustworthy, and Portugal seems to have really ushered in a new era.

Young players take the lead, and veterans should "take the crown"

Thanks to the role model of Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese football has produced a large number of talents in recent years. When a wave of players like Joao Neves, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes appeared, the temperament of Portuguese football had changed. The old classic technical flow was replaced by a tough and balanced new trend. The Five Shields team saw a good opportunity to win the World Cup.

Next summer, Ronaldo will lead the team to compete in the World Cup at the age of 41. He no longer has the physical fitness and strength to be a regular starter. Only by accepting a substitute status or reducing playing time (as the main force) can he truly help the team. The "Four Paris Saints" have taken over Portugal, and Cristiano Ronaldo can really "lay on top" with peace of mind.
