Czech Republic captain Thomas Soucek has insisted Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only Portuguese player to fear.
Soucek acknowledged Cristiano Ronaldo as a goalscoring phenom but insisted there are other Portuguese players to watch out for.
Both nations face off in the group opener in Leipzig, and all eyes will be on Al Nassr superstar Ronaldo to come up with the goals to fire Portugal to glory.
The 39-year-old Ronaldo is chasing history at this year’s tournament, looking to make a record-extending sixth appearance, as well as becoming the first player to score in six different Euros.

“Not only when talking about the attack, but also about defence. We know this and we are focused on us.”
Portugal are looking to win the competition again, after their 2016 triumph.
