Portugal's Group F successive victories, and C Ronaldo's historic breakthrough, the 25-year-old Rafael Riau in the European arena is unique in Europe, became the first "double yellow card" hero in European history. The young player's "sliding shovel" skills not only make the opponent chills, but also let him in a game suffered a yellow card suspension. Despite the fact that Portugal's attacking team is full of players, Rafael Raio is still in the starting lineup.

In the first round against the Czech Republic, Raffaello was the first player to be replaced in the 39th minute when he performed a "sliding shovel" stunt and successfully won a 12-yard penalty kick and received a yellow card. Today, against Turkey, he again "sliding shovel" in the 39th minute, was replaced by Berdunitu at halftime. AC Milan striker was suspended for two consecutive yellow cards, Raffaello also became the second player in European history "double yellow suspension".

Portugal's next match looks like a sure thing, so expect some rotation in the starting lineup. Rafael Rio's suspension may seem insignificant, but as the team's striker, his absence may affect the team's overall tactics. The rise of strong players such as Berdunitu, Zuofelix and Diago Zuda will bring more variables to Portugal's knockout stage. If an up-and-coming player stands out in the next match, Rafael Rio's trip to the bench may be over.
