Spain and Portugal are set to take on each other in the last four encounter of the Euro 2012.
The Iberian neighbours are expected to produce a thrilling encounter which will test the two teams to the limit in their bid to book a place in the showdown of the prestigious tournament.
Due to the setting of the fixture, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men will have fewer days to rest. The reason for this is that their quarter-final match against Les Bleus took place more recently than Portugal’s quarter-final against Czech Republic.

On the other hand, La Furia Roja took on the French national side two days later. Although it was a satisfactory 2-0 win for the World champions, they had to put in a great amount of effort.
Many believe that the Spaniards are fairly exhausted from their fresh conquest in the coveted competition.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique has stressed that his teammates had good rest following the quarter-final against the Bleus and are well-prepared to take on yet another test in their bid to defend the European title.
While talking to reporters, the World Cup winner was quoted as saying:
“Do not worry, we are not as exhausted as it seems. At the end of the match against France, we were trying to have control of the match; it was not like we were exhausted.”
“We spent the day very calm in our hotel rooms. We went to bed at five in the morning, so we slept almost the entire day and then we saw the match between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.”
