Portugal - Bento douses Portuguese hopes

01 June 2012 20:17

Portugal handler Paulo Bento tried to calm Portuguese hopes that the very fact Cristiano Ronaldo is in their line up will make them a potential Euro 2012 champion.

"We can't compare a Real Madrid player's performance with his club to those with his national team. Nor players from any other team either," said Bento.

"The fact of having one of the best players in the world doesn't mean your national team is going to play well."
