Where to watch Portugal – Switzerland live for the round of 16 World Cup Qatar 2022

Portugal vs. Switzerland will face each other this Tuesday, November 6 at the Lusail Stadium for the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The ‘Portuguese’ were leaders of Group G after beating Ghana and Uruguay, but were defeated by South Korea; while the Swiss finished in second position in Group H thanks to their victories against Serbia and Cameroon, although they could not add against Brazil, one of the favorites of this World Cup

The team led by Cristiano Ronaldo will have to beat the fierce Switzerland if they want to aspire to the world title. So far, Fernando Santos has managed to assemble a very different team from the one we saw in the recent UEFA Nations League. However, he still hasn’t managed to get the most out of Cristiano Ronaldo, who hasn’t been able to complete a game in this World Cup.

On the other hand, the Swiss team has been having a great World Cup, and many anticipate a new surprise. With tactical discipline as their best virtue, those led by Murat Yakin seek to reach the quarterfinals, a phase they have not accessed since the 1954 World Cup.

To break the glass ceiling of the round of 16 in a World Cup against Portugal, Switzerland can count on Xherdan Shaqiri, always present in the big events and decisive with the ‘Nati’.

“Yes, it’s not a mistake to say that I’m the man for big games,” Xherdan Shaqiri told reporters before facing Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal on Tuesday (7:00 p.m. GMT) at the Lusail stadium, north of Doha.

The statistics show the importance of the attacking midfielder of the Swiss team in the big tournaments: a third of the goals he has scored with the national team have been in the final phases of big championships, five in World Cups and four in Eurocups (for a total of 27). . And you also have to count four assists.

If Switzerland has been going to the knockout phase in all the World Cups and Eurocups since 2014, it is partly because of its small right winger (1.69 meters).

His last goal to date was on Friday against Serbia (a 3-2 win that meant qualification), in a match that is always special for the man born in Gjilan, in present-day Kosovo, a former Serbian province populated mostly by Albanians. whose independence, declared in 2008, Belgrade does not recognize.

The celebration of his target -ordering the Serbian public to silence- was much more sober than in the 2018 World Cup, when he made the gesture of the double-headed eagle symbol of Greater Albania.

“I think I have mental capacity that helps me to be present at important moments”, says ‘XS’, who at 31 will have to give extra to beat a great team, as happened 18 months ago against France in Euro 2020 round of 16 (held in 2021 due to covid).

Although he did not find a goal against the ‘Bleus’, he was the one who got the tie against Spain in the quarterfinals, a stay where the ‘Nati’ was eliminated in the penalty shootout.

Shaqiri will play his third consecutive round of 16 in the World Cup with Switzerland. In the previous two, the Swiss lost 1-0: in Brazil-2014 against Argentina, the future finalist, in extra time, and in Russia-2018 against Sweden in regulation time.

‘XS’, who did not score in those two matches, will want to finally be decisive in these World Cup knockout matches that attract all the spotlights, although he is aware of the difficulty.

“Everything is open in a match like this, anything can happen. We know what awaits us, we will have to raise the bar to pass, ”she warned.

Shaqiri has been playing since February for the Chicago Fire of the MLS, the American soccer league, a championship with less reputation than the English Premier League, where he played from 2015 to 2021 (at Stoke City and Liverpool).

On Tuesday he will make use of his experience in his 112th cap as an international, a figure that puts him on a par with Alain Geiger (in the 1980s and 1990s) in the second echelon of Swiss who have worn the national team shirt the most times, and that brings him closer to the record of Heinz Hermann (118, between 1978 and 1991).
