While talking to reporters, the former Gunner was quoted:
"Tonight's match is not a clash between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and Barcelona. That's not what is going through our heads. We know all too well that this is a match between Spain and Portugal. We all want the best for our teams and there is nothing more to it.
We will just go out and play our own game, and won't think about anything else.”
"Portugal have a great team and a lot of potential. They don't play the kind of football you would expect from them.”
The semi-final between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and Portugal will kick-off on Wednesday at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk.
