SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Fernando Santos, Portugal manager (on playing the last game of the season)

"Well, in my opinion every country needs to be motivated for these type of friendlies. This is not just in Portugal, it is everywhere in the world. When we are playing at the end of the season it is not easy to find motivation. For me, the main reason to be up for this match is to show we're a good and important team as I always say. We are representing Portugal's badge and our shirt, we will listen to our anthem in front of thousands of foreigners and this is the motivation itself, we can't think about tiredness. That's is the most important thing."

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Nani (on playing without Cristiano Ronaldo)

"Well, it's the same in terms of motivation and concentration. We will play with the same professionalism. Cristiano Ronaldo is a very important player for us and he showed this last match, but without him we need to play our game working hard to achieve good results with a strong team."
