Euro 2016: Croatia vs Portugal - 5 players to watch out for

2) Ricardo Carvalho

Carvalho will have to be at his best against Croatia

The veteran Monaco defender will have his hands full tonight. Up against a tournament dark horse, this match is undoubtedly Portugal’s stiffest test yet. The 3-3 draw against Hungary highlighted Portugal’s defensive vulnerability and things do not look good.

Given an easy group with Iceland, Austria and Hungary to contend with, The Portuguese managed three points from three draws and qualified unceremoniously as one of the best-placed third teams in a group. They only had possession to show for and extremely vulnerable when not having the ball.

The experienced defender will have to marshal his troops against the talented Croatian attack and that certainly will not be an easy task.
