Portugal defender Pepe looks ahead to Group B match against Morocco

Wednesday, June 20 2018 by 7MTV
  • SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Pepe, Portugal centre-back:

    "That we are favourites? The story that we are European champions is dated already. It happened some time ago. I think the most important thing for us is to be focused in what we must do tomorrow (20th June). We worked well, so tomorrow those our coach chooses as starting players can give their best, representing our country."

    SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Pepe, Portugal centre-back:

    "No doubt that the most important thing for our team is that Cristiano Ronaldo is in top shape. He is very happy to be here with us. He passes on his confidence to us every day and during every game. I think it's a privilege for all Portuguese people to have a player like Cristiano."

    SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Fernando Santos, Portugal coach:

    "Portugal is the sum of our abilities. And as I always say, the formula that allowed us to win is having respect and humility when facing any rival. Regardless of which national team and the country they represent. What counts is to be ourselves and to remain highly competitive. We are a team that suffers a lot. We are a team able to fight and suffer. But we are also a quality team able to do good things and win games."
