Intro:

Nani looks ahead to Portugal's European Group I Qualifier against Denmark.

Script:

Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal have work to do. Defeat to Albania in their opening European Qualifier has left them bottom of Group I and in real need of points in Denmark. Ronaldo's former Manchester United teammate Nani spoke to the media on Monday and singled out Niklaus Bendtner.

SOUNDBITE (English) Nani, Portugal on Nicklas Bendtner

"I think he is a very strong player in the air. A very good (technical player) with the ball at the feet. Very comfortable. He is an intelligent player. We know - everyone knows in the team - but we know we don't pay alone. We have to be careful about all the players. The most important thing is that our team will be very strong and focus on the beginning of the game."

Portugal beat Denmark at Euro 2012 but Nani was asked him his news conference why his side always lose against the Danes.

"We have won a couple of games as well. It is not always that we lose against Denmark. I am very confident. Me and all the team that we will change the route (result)."

They'll also be hoping to change the mood around the Portuguese national team, winning is the only way to do that.
