00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom, I am your host Najeeb Ulhasnain.

00:17As per cricket news, the ICC Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan from 19th February to 9th March.

00:24The ICC will announce the schedule.

00:28In addition, in 2024 and 2025, Bangladesh, England and West Indies will host the Test Series.

00:38We will keep you updated on this.

00:40But for today, we will talk about football.

00:44The Euro Cup is moving towards its quarter-final stage.

00:48Two matches will be played today.

00:50Spain will take on Germany and France will take on Portugal.

00:55Ladies and gentlemen, the last eight teams of the Euro Cup have reached the quarter-final stage.

01:00Marhala and Football Analyst are with me in the studio.

01:03All of you are well-acquainted.

01:05Ali Khan is with us.

01:06Ali Tayyab, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.

01:07Walaikum Assalam.

01:08Ali, let's start with the first match.

01:11Spain and Germany.

01:13This is a match between two great teams.

01:16Some experts believe that Spain has the edge.

01:21Do you agree?

01:22On the balance of performance, you can see that Spain won three of their matches.

01:27Germany drew one and won two.

01:30Both teams have been convincing.

01:32But you know that Spain play tiki-taka.

01:34They play free-flowing football.

01:36Let's go back to November 28, 2022.

01:39Do you remember the World Cup in Qatar?

01:43Both teams were in the same group.

01:45Even then, their group stage was equal to one goal.

01:50The two players who scored a goal for Spain,

01:52Murata and Fulcrug, both of them are part of this team.

01:57They are key players.

01:58Obviously, Murata is leading the line-up as Spain.

02:02On the balance of performance, do you think they have a little bit in them to win?

02:08If we analyze Germany's squad, it is a young and inexperienced squad.

02:13You are talking about Jamal Muziala.

02:15He is a young talent.

02:16He is coming through the ranks at Bayern Munich.

02:18He is very talented.

02:19He is the next big thing, probably.

02:21Fulcrug is experienced.

02:24But Kai Havertz is leading the line for Germany.

02:27It was a good season for Arsenal.

02:29Before that, he came from Chelsea.

02:30His performance was not that good.

02:32He used to perform 50-50.

02:34But on his form, his domestic season has passed.

02:39Now he has scored goals in the international team.

02:41It seems that the competition will be very intense.

02:43Because in the midfield, there is an experienced man like Tony Cruz.

02:47In Spain, you have Pedri.

02:49It's a good season.

02:50Let's talk about the key players one by one.

02:53Let's talk about Rodri, who also plays for Man City.

02:57He is also having a good season.

02:59Rodri is obviously the engine in the midfield.

03:04He plays very well in the defensive midfield.

03:06He drives Spain.

03:07You talked about Williams.

03:10Williams is a very good player.

03:12He plays very well for Spain.

03:13Let's talk about Pedri.

03:14Pedri is another key player for them.

03:17Yes, he is a prodigy at Barcelona.

03:19You have seen that Barcelona has been in a transition phase

03:23after Lionel Messi's exit.

03:25Obviously, it is not the European giant that it used to be.

03:28Real Madrid maintains their status.

03:31They won the Champions League this year.

03:33They are big key players.

03:34But Barcelona has been in a transition phase for the past 2-3 years.

03:37If we talk about Pedri, he is at the forefront of that.

03:41X Barcelona players are leading the team.

03:46Pedri is a key player for Spain.

03:49And the line-up that they are leading...

03:52You talked about Morata.

03:54He plays for Atletico Madrid.

03:56He is 31-32 years old.

03:58He is experienced.

03:59He is not a veteran.

04:02But he has it in him.

04:04The way Spain plays...

04:07It is the same style as Barca.

04:10Yes.

04:11Their old guard, Dani Carvajal, won the Champions League with Real Madrid.

04:15They are a mix of youth and experience.

04:19Similar to Germany.

04:20Like Neuer.

04:22He was one of the best keepers in the world.

04:25He had a lot of longevity.

04:27You saw how long he played.

04:30In such crunch games, it is very difficult to predict.

04:34Obviously, when the teams are so equally matched and balanced.

04:37It is very difficult to predict.

04:39It is a knockout stage.

04:40Anything can happen.

04:41But right now, the prediction is tilted towards Spain.

04:46Kai Havertz is a great player in Germany.

04:50You are an Arsenal fan.

04:52He is a fan of Arsenal.

04:54How important is it for him to step up in today's game?

04:57He is leading the line-up.

04:59He plays a false line in Arsenal.

05:01But he has the knack and ability to make those darting runs.

05:04He is an elusive player.

05:06You don't know where he comes from.

05:08He has a good positioning.

05:11Football is about the three Ps.

05:13Position, Possession and Progression.

05:16You have to take possession, position and progress.

05:21Germany is good at that.

05:23Kai Havertz is very good at that.

05:25He can evade the defenders and score goals.

05:29I think Germany and Julian Nigglesman, their manager, is probably expecting that from him.

05:34What is your prediction for these two teams?

05:39Who do you think is the favourite?

05:41What can be the scoreline?

05:42On paper, it looks like Spain.

05:45But since it is Germany,

05:47the tournament is taking place in Germany.

05:49There is a home advantage for the crowd.

05:51I think, if not in normal time, extra time,

05:54Germany should, with the experience of Cruz and Havertz

05:58and the exuberance of young Jamal Muziala, Leroy Sane,

06:02I think Germany should be able to take the home advantage.

06:07They can take the home advantage.

06:09There is a second match in Hamburg Arena between France and Portugal.

06:12Portugal is known for having high expectations from Cristiano Ronaldo.

06:17There is Mbappe, here is Ronaldo.

06:20There will be a war between the two superstars.

06:23Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't performed like that in Portugal yet.

06:29Neither has Mbappe in France.

06:31Both haven't done anything.

06:32True.

06:33One was a past star and the other is a present star.

06:37Obviously, we saw Mbappe, a very young 19-year-old.

06:40He won the World Cup in 2018.

06:42He lost the final of 2022 to Argentina and Messi.

06:46Ronaldo is at the twilight of his career.

06:48Ronaldo gets mixed reactions.

06:51Some think he is stopping young talent.

06:54But Ronaldo is one of those players

06:56who can have those miracle key moments at any time.

06:59He can turn the match around.

07:01You talked about composure.

07:03You missed the penalty in Slovakia.

07:06But he was able to score.

07:11Bruno Fernandes and Silva have a star-studded line-up.

07:15They have a star-studded line-up.

07:17Ronaldo is 39 years old.

07:20Pepe is a 42-year-old defender.

07:24You talked about Ronaldo and Silva.

07:26Bruno Fernandes is the injured.

07:27They often carry Manchester United on their shoulders.

07:30The way United's season has been.

07:32Bruno Fernandes is the driving force.

07:35Diago Jota is on the bench.

07:37I think Roberto Martinez, their manager,

07:40should let Jota start.

07:43He is in his preferred position.

07:45We saw Ronaldo in his entire career.

07:47He was played on the left wing.

07:48He used to play for Real Madrid.

07:50He was doing the same for Manchester United.

07:52Juventus.

07:53He switched to Ronaldo on the left wing.

07:55He played Jota in the center.

07:56He should drop Rafael Liao.

07:58Liao has done nothing but runs.

08:02Let's talk about France.

08:03Everyone knows Mbappe.

08:04Griezmann is another superstar.

08:06What is his role?

08:08Sabela is another Arsenal player.

08:12William Saliba is also a defender.

08:16France has never conceded a goal

08:20from an open play.

08:23All credit goes to Saliba.

08:25He was an instrumental figure for Arsenal.

08:29He mounted the title challenge

08:30till the final day of the season.

08:32He strengthened his defense.

08:36Saliba is at the forefront.

08:39He is carrying a similar form with France.

08:42It is not easy to score against France.

08:46France is not able to score.

08:48For Portugal, they have Bernardo Silva

08:50who is a star player for Man City.

08:52He played on the right wing.

08:53Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes.

08:56Then you have Diago Jota.

08:58You have Jao Cancelo.

09:00They have good players.

09:01You have Magnan.

09:03He is a goalkeeper.

09:05He has been the goalkeeper of the tournament.

09:09He has never conceded a goal from an open play.

09:11The defending champions are out.

09:13Italy is out.

09:15England's performance is not exciting.

09:20I don't understand what the British media is doing.

09:25The players come to the press conference

09:27and defend their manager.

09:29The media and the fans stick to their manager.

09:33He is too defensive.

09:35He is the highest paid manager in the entire tournament.

09:38It is really exciting.

09:40The phase in which Euro has reached.

09:42Let's see the final answer today.

09:46Who is the favorite for Euro?

09:48The team that has played today.

09:51France is also you cannot rule out.

09:56Thank you very much for being with us.

09:58You were sharing your opinions about Euro.

10:01We had very little time in the program.

10:03That's it.

10:04Give your host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain permission.

10:06Take care of yourself.

10:07Allah Hafiz.
