Portugal cannot afford to rely too heavily on their talismanic captain Cristiano Ronaldo at Euro 2012 because he "can't do everything on his own", warned centre-back Pepe on Thursday.
"The responsibility is for everyone," said Pepe, who also plays alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
"He's a human being with extraordinary abilities, who can decide the outcome of a match, but he's just one player in a team.
"He has experience. He knows how to approach these matches but he can't do everything on his own."
Cristiano is coming off a great season," said Pepe.
"He's very motivated by the Euro. We hope to see him scoring goals for the national team like he's done for Real Madrid."
