Halftime.
Italy team's locker room.
"In the second half, we need to defend well. Our attack is already taking shape, and I have full confidence in our forwards." Maniero was encouraging the team. "At the end of the day, Portugal is just a one-man team."
"As long as we can stop Madeira, we can beat this team!"
If outsiders heard Maniero's words, many would probably think he didn't understand the game.
Because this Portugal team has no shortage of star players.
Superstar level includes Madeira.
Famous players include Laveran, Canisell, as well as a midfielder and a left winger.
Others can also be considered stars.
Otherwise, in the previous predictions, Portugal wouldn't have been ranked above Italy.
Is this really a one-man team?
"Stacking stars doesn't necessarily mean no effect, but the efficiency is actually quite low." Maniero said. "Portugal lacks a true tactical master. Besides Chelsea's head coach Zuka Felish, they haven't had a good coach in recent years."
