At the last meeting, had massacred Spain Portugal 4-0 in a friendly match in Lisbon on November 2010. Well, if the record of a meeting in the semifinals at Donbass Arena early day still siding with Portugal? It was hard.
Therefore, the record of the meeting could now be a reference. Exclusion of France can be a lesson. Such as Portugal, France also has an excellent attendance record against Spain. Its real, they have to go home after subdued by a score of 0-1.
The fact that Spanish is the most solid team also could not be set aside. In the last 18 matches in the Euro, Spain has never lost (won 16, drew two times). On paper, Spain came out ahead. Statistics noted, all four matches to 2623 Spain was successful bait. Portugal while passing only 1159 or less than half. The result, Spain is quite strong in the back and sharp in front.
So you can imagine, the match took place in one direction. Spain will dominate possession, while Portugal will last a total while waiting for a chance to do a counter attack.
Paulo Bento will continue to rely on winger Cristian Ronaldo and Nani as the pedestal for the counterattack. However, Spain has the formula would have to mute it.
Head to head performance of Portugal vs. Spain:
Performance Portugal: Portugal coach Paulo Bento will still use patterns, formations, and game systems are the same as the last four games at Euro 2012. 4-3-3 scheme will not change. The absence of striker Helder Postiga will be replaced striker whose quality is not much different, namely Hugo Almeida. With that pattern, Portugal did not intend to attack the initiative. The same as when the game against Germany and the Netherlands, Portugal still waiting for the ball in the back and do a quick attack dangerous if there is a chance.
Spanish Performance: Since becoming a champion of Euro 2008, Spain continued to play a pattern that makes the opponent frustrated. In Euro 2012, the game tiki-taka-driven six geniuses to make the Spanish midfielder stepped comfortably into the semifinals. Actually, the key to Spain it is common knowledge, namely control of the ball and excellent passing. However, there is no team that succeeded in overthrowing the Spanish players because the quality is above. A champion of Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, it seems, did not make Spain satisfied. La Furia Roja remains passionate about chasing his third title.
Head to head Defence Portugal vs. Spain:
Defence Portugal: Portugal is a team with an average winning percentage of air duel most of any contestant in the Euro 2012. However, against Spain, it would not be statistically significant. Portugal is difficult to predict precisely the line facing the Spanish midfielder. So far, Portugal has conceded four goals in four games. The amount is too much. Pepe and Bruno Alves duo are forced to work hard early day. João Pereira and defender Fabio Coentrao will be difficult to help the attack.
Spanish Defense: Carlos Puyol's absence was expected to make the Spanish defense faltered. The fact is not. One goal is nested into the goalkeeper Iker Casillas into evidence of the toughness of four Matador defender. Against Portugal, Spain would have a tough test. Mainly because Sergio Ramos and Alvaro Arbeloa will face compatriot at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, Spain will languish. Therefore, the Portugal winger had two high speeds.

Head to head attack Portugal vs. Spain:
Attack on Portugal: Portugal superstar will still be relying on the team and captain Cristiano Ronaldo. So far 34 percent of the pattern of attacks originating from the left side of Portugal, Ronaldo 'operations. Nani on the right will also be relied upon. However, if the three pivot player to concentrate more defense, it will make the attack Portugal drag. Ronaldo and Nani expected to be difficult to get the ball and were forced to play more to the rear. Counter attack to attack Portugal option. Nothing else.
Attack on Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque, it seems, will return to play Cesc Fabregas as the "number 9 striker" in the 4-3-3 system. Pattern was repeatedly criticized for not focusing system of the Spanish attack and blunt. However, Del Bosque did not care and are more concerned with the stability of the team. After all, almost all the players can score like Xabi Alonso, who struck two goals against France. Fernando Torres will be played if Fabregas stuck. Beyond that, Del Bosque predicted was not going to give it another surprise.
Estimated strating line up Portugal vs. Spain:
Portugal: 1-Rui Patricio, 2-Bruni Alves, 3-Pepe, 21-Joao Pereira, 5-Fabio Coentrao, 4-Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho 8-, 16-Raul Meireles, 17-Nani, 7-Cristiano Ronaldo, 9-Hugo Almeida.

Coach: Vicente Del Bosque.

Both countries are known as a producer of natural skill player with the best in Europe. Portugal has long been identified as Brazilian Europe. The greatness of Portugal in the spawn brilliant young players can be seen from the record of their cool in junior level tournaments.

In U-20 World Cup, Portugal won the 1989 and 1991. After that, they also finished third in 1995 and runner-up last into the 2011 edition in August last year. Striker Nelson Oliveira, who won the Junior World Cup Silver Ball 2011, is now strengthening the senior team in Poland-Ukraine.

In addition to the Junior World Cup, Portugal is also a success at European junior level tournaments. They finished as runner-up U-19 European Championship in 2003 and became a champion of U-17 European Championship in 2003.

Meanwhile, Spain also continues to give birth to a new generation of good players, especially with rising dropout leaves the Barcelona and Real Madrid lately. Such as Portugal, Spain was a success at junior level international tournaments.

He Rojita (The Little Red) recorded ever to win the 1992 Olympics, U-21 European Championship in 2011. U-20 World Cup in 1999, U-19 European Championship in 2011, and U-17 European Championship in 2007 and 2008. One member of the U-21 squad for Euro 2011 who elected to Team of the Tournament, Juan Mata, La Furia Roja is now strengthening in the Euro 2012.

With such a background, waiting for the Iberian derby in the semi-final duel will present fun-filled exhibition engineering quality of individual players. Originally the two teams did not perform too careful; this fight has the potential to be the best party in Euro 2012.

What is interesting in a way, to the semi-finals, both teams showed a resemblance. Their achievement is not dependent on figure as a source of goals, but on second-line players. You could say Portugal and Spain are both present without striker tactics.

Portugal started the journey with a 0-1 defeat of Germany. Then they beat Denmark 3-2. At that time, there Aish attacker who contributed a goal, namely Helder Postiga. Two other goals were scored defender Pepe and winger Silvestre Varela.

In the determination of the Group B game, Portugal beat the Netherlands 2-1. It was then that the fact that the key game in the second line Seleccao confirmation. The best star Paulo Bento's side, winger Cristiano Ronaldo, bought up two goals. CR7 find the best performance at the right time after a poor showing in the first two parties.

In the quarterfinals, again the victory over Portugal Republic Ceska by Ronaldo. A printer 60 goal for Real Madrid throughout the season 2011/12 is to make a single goal for his team.

Portugal is not ashamed to admit they depend on CR7. "He's a player from another world. For him, being the best in the world means little. He's incredible. He exceeded his own performance at every game, "the praise of Pepe told RTP.

In the semifinals, Postiga will be absent due to injury. With such conditions, Ronaldo and other players in the second line of Portugal may be an increasingly important role.

Wednesday, Ronaldo will challenge players who already know him through football exploits in La Liga. "We understand perfectly Cristiano. We are not surprised by the level of play that because he was already playing like that all year, "said Ronaldo in Real Madrid colleague who also recently became the hero of Spain in the quarter-finals, Xabi Alonsi, the Telecinco website.

Xabi Alonso bought up all the goals as Spain beat France 2-0 on Saturday (23/6). The emergence of the midfielder as a determinant of La Furia Roja reinforces the condition, which seems more comfortable playing without a striker. Spanish striker tactics without overt than Portugal. In the first party against Italy, Coach Vicente del Bosque lose Cesc Fabregas as pemai "number 9 false". In the second match, striker Torres Fernandi into the starting XI and scored two goals as Spain won 4-0. But, when it faces Team Matador weakest contestant, Ireland. Against Croatia that is stronger than the Irish. Torres who again made a disappointing starter. 1-0 win made winger Jesus Navas.

Conditions that make Del Bosque back to Fabregas as phase no. 9 in the face of France. "I believe Fabregas. We have three very good attackers, but I see Cesc in a good performance to be a starter, "said Del Bosque.

Alonso said his team had to give performances at the best level to get over Portugal. Spain recognizes Seleccao as a dangerous opponent, like Italy and France. This situation makes the prospect of La Furia Roja back to playing without a striker to be quite large.

According to the absence of striker Del Bosque will not be a problem for the Spanish defense good. With a 2-0 victory over France, Ls Furia Roja cleasn sheet to achieve results in 14-11 tournament at the last party. "If the defense is good, we are getting close to the championship title for the existing players, sooner or later we will create chances," he said.

With its status as defending champion and world's best teams (based on the latest FIFA rankings per June 6), Spain clearly deserves to be seeded. In the last meeting of the two teams in the tournament official, Matador team beat Portugal 1-0 success in the last 16 World Cup in 2010.

But, about five months after the 0-1 defeat in Cape Town (South Africa), the Seleccao back with no half-hearted. They beat Spain four goals without reply in Lisbon!

is only a trial game, but it can at least raise the confidence of the pillars in front of them Seleccao that Spain is not an unbeatable team.

Of the possibility of players who will enter the starting XI Portugal, only Miguel Veloso and Fabio Coentrao are not featured in the 4-0 victory.

In the other scale, the feelings of the players would just like Coentrao, Pepe, and Ronaldo, who was a successful season Madrid decided inferiority of Barcelona in La Liga. With Barcelona players are still the backbone of Spain, imagine the confidence level that will be taken by Ronaldo et al.

Spain should be extra careful. Moreover, Del Bosque said his team may face obstacles that can determine. This semi-final take place six days after the party Ceska vs Portugal, but only four days after the Spanish counter-France match.

"We have a little time off than they were two days. It was indeed a minor handicap, but sata thought this problem. We will arrive in the semifinals with depleted physical condition of the heat in the face of France is very cruel to the players, "he said.
