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

Nani
Nani has scored Portugal’s only goal in the tournament so far.

László Kleinheisler

Kleinheiser
The youngster was man of the match against Austria.

The 22-year-old Werder Bremen midfielder got his first taste of Bundesliga action in January. With his team trailing 0-2 against Hertha Berlin he inspired a remarkable comeback that saw them draw 3-3. Nicknamed Scholes because he has red hair like the English legend, the midfielder has the potential to live up to nickname.

Kleinheisler’s selection for Euro 2016 drew much flak because of his youth and lack of experience. However, he lived up to the pressure by scoring on his debut against Norway in the 0-1 win. He has played all the games in Euro 2016. For his allround performance against Austria, he won the Man of the match award.

Much is expected of the young "Scholes" and he will be up for the greatest test he has ever faced. The formidable Portuguese midfield with William Carvalho will have a tough time keeping the young gun quiet. He will look to link up with Szalai and Steiber to give Rui Patricio a long night in Lyon.
