Euro day six. Which players to watch today?
On the sixth day of the European Championship, stadiums in Thun and Geneva will host Group B. The Spanish team, which has so far achieved the biggest win of the tournament – 5:0 against Portugal – will be playing in this group. The Portuguese can redeem themselves today in their match against Italy. The question is whether the biggest star of the Portuguese squad, Kika Nazareth, will play. Here is today's selection of players to watch.
Spain - Mariona Caldentey
Mariona Caldentey transferred as a free agent from Barcelona to Arsenal, where she once again won the Champions League title. The highly effective striker is, along with Alessia Russo, one of the hot favorites to win the Ballon d'Or. She seems to be coping well with the transfer from the Spanish to the English league. The Gooners voted her player of the season.
Portugal - Kika Nazareth
The Portuguese team's biggest star has been struggling with injury since March. So it was a pleasant surprise for everyone that she finally made it to Switzerland. However, she did not play in the opening match against Spain. Only she and the coach know whether she will play today. Nevertheless, if Portugal wants to advance from the group stage, it is time for Kika to show her skills.
Italy - Sofia Cantore
After the tournament, the 25-year-old Italian will join Washington Spirit, where she has just transferred from Juventus. Cantore regularly works with a mental coach who helps her cope with pressure. And it clearly helps. She scored 30 goals in 94 games for Juventus. And today, she would certainly like to score a goal for the national team.
Belgium - Amber Tysiak
Red Flames will not have an easy time against Spain today. However, their goal will be protected by West Ham's highly experienced defender Amber Tysiak. A trained teacher, she is one of the most experienced Belgian players and will certainly make it difficult for the Spanish to score.
