Reaction from Fernando Santos following Portugal's 0-0 draw with Austria in Group F at Euro 2016 in France on Saturday (18th June)

SOUNDBITE: (ENGLISH) Fernando Santos, Portugal coach:(Question about Cristiano Ronaldo, and whether he has been affected by missed chances, especially his penalty miss)

"Okay, I understand your question, but I don't want to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, please..."

SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Fernando Santos, Portugal coach: (on whether his squad has been adversely affected by only getting two points from two games they should have won)

"I think that cannot happen. Of course, we're going through a tough time right now, it's always the case, but we have to switch tack immediately. We cannot wallow in our own misery right now, we have to think that there is a final to play on the 22nd (against Hungary). Apparently, this is our first final at the Euros, we're going to focus, to concentrate and we have to accentuate the positive and put it all on the pitch in the next tie. Of course, we have to analyse everything that has happened, but when we talk about the team, we have to focus right now. We can't concentrate on what we missed and how many missed chances we had, this is football. This is unfair, it's true, but it's useless to discuss it right now like that, because the next match is a final for us."
