EURO 2012: Ronaldo dismisses Spanish fatigue claims
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed talk that their
Spanish rivals have reason to complain because they have two days less
to recover before their Euro 2012 semi-final clash today. "Three days rest is more than sufficient. The Spanish have commented
that having two fewer days rest is a disadvantage, but as a
professional I don't think it's important," the Real Madrid striker was
quoted as saying on UEFA's website.
Portugal advanced to the semi-finals last Thursday by beating the
Czech Republic 1-0, while defending champions' Spain beat France 2-0 on
Saturday.
"You have to prepare for the match in the same way that we prepared
for the others. We don't have to do anything different. It will be a
hard clash in which Portugal has to do very well to beat Spain.
"We are ready and we will do our best," said Ronaldo, who has scored three goals so far in the tournament.
