Rafael Leao "Fears" Arda Güler
Rafael Leao, winger for the Portugal national team, warned that his team cannot "give Turkey space" because players like Arda Güler and Hakan Çalhanoglu can "make a difference" in their upcoming Group F match of Euro 2024 this Friday.
"We can't give them too much space because individually they can make the difference," cautioned the AC Milan player on the eve of the match. He avoided discussing his future with the Italian club, stating he is "focused on a very important match" this Friday, where Portugal is vying for qualification and the top spot in their group.
"I've played with Çalhanoglu at Milan and he has a lot of quality, a great shot, he's dangerous. Also, Güler, who plays for Real Madrid, can make a difference even at such a young age, just like Yilmaz, who is very fast," Leao highlighted the individual talents of his opponents.
"For wingers, it will be a game with more space (compared to the match against the Czech Republic) and we can showcase our attacking qualities. It will be a more exciting game, more in the style of the Portuguese team," he added.
