We have to face one of the best national teams in this Euro. They are the favourites for this quarter-final, but we will have our chances. We respect them. We are not afraid of them. We are going to give 100 per cent. We will try to perform as well as possible. We believe in ourselves - we proved that by qualifying for the quarter-finals and we will see what happens.
