How will the stars returning from Saudi Arabia play at Euro 2024

""

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr Club, Portugal team, played 485 of the maximum 510 minutes)

Euro 2024 is Ronaldo’s failure. The 39-year-old striker did not score a goal through five matches, and Portugal stopped in the quarterfinals. Ronaldo scored 23 times, including a penalty, but all failed to score. The expected goals coefficient of these shots is 3.5, making CR7 the least effective player in front of goal. Ronaldo also caused controversy when he cried after missing a penalty in the match against Slovenia. Except for goalkeeper, Ronaldo is the player who plays the most for Portugal. But instead of moving much, he just tried to maintain his strength and wait for the opportunity to finish.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Al Hilal – Serbia, 121 in 270 minutes)

Milinkovic-Savic played the entire opening match, losing 0-1 to England, and traveled a respectable distance of 13.9 km. At that time, all indicators were good. But in the next two matches, drawing 1-1 with Slovenia and 0-0 with Denmark, the Saudi Pro League champion only played a total of 29 minutes. Milinkovic-Savic has long been an important part of Serbia, with 54 appearances. But with limited playing time at Euro 2024, his role is in an alarming state.

Marcelo Brozovic (Al Nassr – Croatia, 225 in 270 minutes)

For the past 10 years, Brozovic has been Croatia’s top central midfielder. But in Germany recently, he no longer made sharp passes and together with Luka Modric caused chaos in the opponent’s goal. The 31-year-old player seemed to disappear in the opening match, losing 0-3 to Spain, was replaced right after half-time in the 2-2 draw with Albania, before getting off to a bad start in the 1-1 draw with Italy. Behind Brozovic’s lackluster performance is the team’s disorder. However, what he showed is very different from when he and Inter reached the 2022-2023 Champions League final.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al Hilal – Serbia – 240 in 270 minutes)

Mitrovic shot 10 times, but did not score any goals. One of them was a good opportunity in the 1-1 draw with Slovenia. Mitrovic was also the fourth least effective player in the group stage. What he showed at the Euro was a far cry from last season, where he scored 40 goals in 43 matches for Al Hilal. In Saudi Arabia, Mitrovic’s achievement is only less than Ronaldo’s 50 goals in 51 matches. Mitrovic also helped Al Hilal win the treble of Saudi Pro League, King Cup and Saudi Super Cup.

Ruben Neves (Al Hilal – Portugal – 125 in 510 minutes)

Neves did not start any match at Euro 2024. He came on as a substitute four times, but did not play more than 45 minutes. Neves’ main role is to replace defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha. Neves played the entire extra time of the quarter-final against France and would have started had he reached the semi-finals, as Palhinha was suspended for the next match.

Georginio Wijnaldum (Al Ettifaq – Netherlands – 70 in 540 minutes)

Like Neves, Wijnaldum did not start any matches at Euro 2024. He only substituted three times and all took place in the group stage. Wijnaldum’s main value may be his role as a senior to encourage team spirit.

Andrei Burca (Al Okhdood – Romania – 360 in 360 minutes)

Romania’s defense faced great pressure in all four matches. Therefore, the central defender pair Radu Dragusin and Andrei Burca became heroes. Burca (No. 15) played especially well in the opening match, winning 3-0 against Ukraine. He is currently a free agent, after his contract with Al Okhdood expired on July 1. But after what he showed at Euro, the 31-year-old midfielder may soon find a new club.

Merih Demiral (Al Ahli – Türkiye – 206 in 360 minutes)

Initially, coach Vincenzo Montella did not intend to use Demiral at Euro 2024. But the suspension of Abdulkerim Bardakci forced him to adjust his defense. In the final group match, Demiral came on the field, made a strong impression and then won a starting spot in the match against Austria. Next, the 26-year-old defender performed his best performance at the Euro, making the most interceptions (3), winning the most aerial duels (6), and scoring both goals. again won 2-1. What disappointed Turkish fans was that after the celebration, which was accused of political nature, Demiral was banned from playing in the quarter-finals.

N’golo Kante (Al Ittihad – France – 513 in 570 minutes)

Kante started the Euro like a whirlwind. He dominated the French midfield in a way that made many fans silently admire. But as the tournament dragged on, the 33-year-old player’s class decreased. In the knock-out phase, Kante’s energy was exhausted and his tactical vision was unstable, leading to him having to leave the field early in the semi-final against Spain. Overall, Kante had a personally successful tournament. However, playing the central midfielder role for six games and 22 days took its toll on form.

Aymeric Laporte (Al Nassr – Spain – 525 in 660 minutes)

Laporte missed the opening match due to a minor injury. But after entering the field in the second match, he became the cornerstone of the campaign to conquer the Euro. Except for goalkeeper, Laporte plays the third most for Spain. The former Man City star had to play with three different partners in six matches, but always showed high performance. Demiral may have delivered the best individual performance from a Saudi Pro League player, but Laporte was the best on the road.
