Bruno Fernandes appeared very disappointing when Portugal lost to Germany at Euro 2020. As a result, Fernandes received criticism from former Arsenal player, Lee Dixon.Portugal faced Germany on the second matchday of the Euro 2020 group F phase. However, Fernando Santos' troops had to admit Germany's 4-2 advantage at the Allianz Arena.
Portugal had taken the lead through Cristiano Ronaldo's goal. However, Germany could retaliate through Ruben Dias' own goal, Raphael Guerrero in the first half. Kai Havertz and Robin Gosens managed to add to Germany's advantage. However, Diogo Jota was finally able to reduce the position for Portugal.
Bruno Fernandes is one of the players who performed poorly in the match against Germany. He was withdrawn and replaced by Joao Moutinho in the 64th minute.After the match, Lee Dixon criticized Bruno Fernandes' lazy performance. He said the Manchester United midfielder was just walking on the field. "Someone needs to tell Fernandes that his team is 3-1 down. But look, he's just walking around on the pitch," Dixon told ITV."He then had the opportunity to run forward and do some things with the players in front of him. But there was no energy in his running at all."
Meanwhile, Portugal boss Fernando Santos admitted that his tactics were to blame for his side's defeat to Germany.“We just changed midfield tactics for the game. We just wanted to put pressure on the midfield players – Gundogan and Kroos – and we wanted our full-backs to step up,” said Santos."But it was clear to see that we always lacked extra players in midfield and were pushed back. That is my strategy and I take full responsibility for it."In the first half they had only two fouls. If we can't stop them, if we have problems in possession, then we have problems."Despite Fernando Santos' comments, Bruno Fernandes' performance during Euro 2020 was not as good as when the player defended Manchester United.
