Intro:

Spain and Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso said on Monday that their tactics won't change for the semi-final against Portugal in Euro 2012.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Cesc Fabregas, Spain:

"Portugal players are good enough to keep the ball. Moutinho and (Raul) Meireles hold the ball very well and their wingers, Nani and Ronaldo are very quick and strong. If I was the manager of Portugal and I had those players I would play exactly the same style. They can do a lot of damage. But we are confident about our defence. If we play well together we will be able to attack and defend well."

SOUNDBITE (English): Xabi Alonso, Spain:

"Well, I think that that most of the (Portugal) team continue being the same. I think that maybe from the emotional point of view they are arriving in a peak after going through to the semi-final. They are in a good moment and because of that they are really aware of their potential even having not changed many players we know of their (options) striker position. We know them pretty well. They know us pretty well so it's not going to be any big surprises but it is going to be an intense game for sure."
