R. Meireles (L) and Cristiano Ronaldo (R)
Meireles:
"We're all aware of the great player we have in our national team, in my opinion no less than the best player in the world,"
"Everybody wants him to help, that was just what happened against Netherlands and fortunately he scored."
"Nobody regarded us as favourites before the tournament,"
"Just as nobody regarded Chelsea as favourites in the Champions League, it will be very difficult, but it's our dream, just as it's the dream of all Portuguese people."
"I know Petr very well,"
"But I've not spoken to him. He's very strong mentally, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he has proved that."
"The feeling I have is that they'll come with the desire to win.
"After losing the first game heavily, they responded very well to finish top of their group."
Portugal will take on Czech Republic in 1st quarter finals on 21st June.
