Portugal’s forward and Manchester United’s attacker, Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 has insisted that he is not afraid of facing Germany and admitted that he is looking to prove a point against them, in the upcoming Euros.
Back in 2008, Portugal were being hailed as one of the favourites to go on and win the tournament. However, Germany went on to beat them in the quarter final stage of the competition and this sent the team crashing out of the Euro 2008.
With the two now set to be in the same group, it seems like Portugal will have their chances to redeem themselves.
Nani seems to feel that his side can beat just about anyone and feels that Germany are an excellent team, but that his side can go on and cause a massive upset this time around.
When talking about the upcoming Euro 2012 and taking Germany into consideration, Nani is reported to have said: "If we are feeling anxiety, they will feel it too, because they will be playing against Portugal"
"They know who they will be playing against and what Portugal have."I have been hearing a lot of things about Germany, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884, but they must have heard about Portugal, too.”
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 have an excellent team, I have to admit, we have to be humble and respect them, but they will have to respect us too.””
"We will not want to make life easy for them, we will not want to let them play their game and we will try to play our own."
Having missed out a number of crucial games for Manchester United this past season, Nani is going to be looking to prove his worth with the national team.
The attacker has been in top form for a couple of months now and it is only a matter of him fitting into the Portuguese side, before he starts causing problems to his opponents.
At the same time, Nani is going to be paired with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 are going to have a very solid attack force.
