I'm a very balanced person," he said. "I was injured and didn't play at my normal pace. "But I normally take things calmly and this was a very special game for us. We were able to reach the final which is very important for us, we're completing a very successful cycle. We're happy to play in the final. "I don't think it's only chance. I think you need to work a lot, you need to study your opponent. I think we played with our heads. We were quite tired at the end but playing with our heads as well as our hearts. "I knew what I had to do. Of course we're very happy because we've been able to stop the European champions."Portugal had many chances to score. I think the game was quite balanced. Both teams showed great respect for the other. "The secret, I think, is that we never stop believing in ourselves and we want to do everything we can to win. We still have one more game to win."</blockquote>
