Arbeloa will be against his club-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo, as Spain and Portugal collide, and the Spanish full-back has made it clear that he will consider Ronaldo as his enemy.
Spain will be facing Portugal in the semi-finals of the Euro 2012. Both the teams have shown their traits in the European competition and even though Spain are considered to be favourites to win the tournament, Portugal are definitely going to make things
hard for them in the semi-final.
The Portuguese have had their luck in the tournament, and Ronaldo, despite being a flop when the tournament started, managed to show why he is often considered to be one of the best players in the world.
Since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 is going to pose a great threat to the Spanish
defence.
Since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282.
While speaking about the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, Arbeloa made his intentions clear that even though Ronaldo is his team-mate, he will not consider him to be one when he faces him during the semi-finals of the Euro and he will consider him as an enemy.
The Spanish full-back said:
"It's the same as when you are at your clubs and you play against team-mates from the national side. Tomorrow I will not have club-mates, they will be enemies.”
"I don't usually speak with the people against who I'm going to play. I will fight to help Spain get into the final.''
Arbeloa is replacing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 played in the right-back role with Puyol and Pique forming a centre-back partnership.
However, with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 captain out injured, Arbeloa is the one who has replaced him in the defence, but he plays in the right-back role while Ramos has taken the centre-back role.
Portugal and Spain will lock horns on June 27th, 2012.
