As the Spaniards prepare themselves for their Euro 2012 semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, several reports suggest that they will be concentrating their energies to contain the Real Madrid number 7.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 has seen both highs and lows in this year’s European Championships, as the Madrid star player failed to perform well in his national side’s first two matches. However, the forward bounced back in style in the next two games as he proved to be the
decisive factor in leading the Navigators to the last four of the coveted competition.
The former Manchester United player scored a glorious double against the Dutch, followed by scoring the only goal against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882.
With the Portuguese skipper improving on his performance with each passing match; it is only fair that he is considered a threat by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men.
The World champions are hoping to repeat the success they enjoyed in the previous instalment of the Euro. The European Championship in 2008 saw La Furia Roja being crowned as the champions of Europe, after they defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in the final of the prestigious
tournament.
In order to retain their European title, Del Bosque’s men must emerge victorious over the Navigators.
Ahead of the much-anticipated fixture, Iniesta has attempted to clarify that the Reds will concentrate on the whole Portuguese squad instead of keeping their eye on Ronaldo alone.
While talking to reporters, the Barca number 8 quoted:
“11 of Spain against one Portuguese? It seems we are not as obsessed with Ronaldo as other people are. Yes he is a great player but Portugal are not a one-man team. Besides we have enough players who know Ronaldo well enough to stop him.”
“We have respect for him but we are not waging a war on one man because we feel it will bring us victory."
The semi-final between Spain and Portugal will take place at the Donbass Arena on Wednesday.
