Lets start our pre-game review with the biggest match this evening (in my humble opinion of course) Portugal vs Spain!!
PORTUGAL VS SPAIN
This Exciting match is set to take place at Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is what Iker Cassilas told the media at the interview ahead of today's game. Cassilas Claims that Fernando Llorente gives the spanish team an extra element when he plays . An element that can't be offered by any other players as demonstrated during the World Cup match against Portugal. According to the spanish international team goalkeeper, "the game was close, he (Llorente) came off the bench, and the match was revolutionised."
Barca Playmaker, Xavi might be playing in tonight's game according to Spain coach Vicente del Bosque but Xavi will only go as far as his physical condition allows him to. He WILL NOT go against his physical condition.
As for Fernando Torres and Sergio Ramos, the duo did not train with the rest of the team yesterday but both will travel to Lisbon with the rest of the squad according to Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as stated on their website. Both of them are injured.
Enough of the La Roja, Now lets have a look at the home side. Portugal Fans will indeed expect a good old classic match fueled by grunge . Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque said last week that this fixture provide perfect opportunity for both sides to showcase their talent and potential as World Cup host but his opposite member of the game, Portugal's coach Paulo Bento has other plans. Paulo Bento said that " WE WANT TO FIGHT, WE WANT TO PLAY, WE DONT WANNA JUST WATCH SPAIN PLAYING. There are they best squad in Europe for the moment and we must take advantage of the match to create our own identity".
Manchester United forward, Nani, wants Portugal to put their World cup heartbreak firmly behind. "AS A TEAM WE ARE NOT THE BEST IN THE WORLD, BUT AS A GROUP AND AS PLAYERS WE ARE AMONGST THE BEST. WE HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE MATCHES AGAINST THE BEST (TEAMS) TO GET STRONGER"
