【小贝专访INTERVIEW】BRING ON PORTUGAL - BECKS(记者对今晚英格 BRING ON PORTUGAL - BECKS Thursday, June 29, 2006 David Beckham said that the England team will be ready for the physical battle with Portugal. "It's the English mentality, we love physical games, love the high tempo, tackles flying in, if it's like that we'll enjoy it," said Beckham. "I think whatever ref comes in and refs this game, he is going to have a tough job. "You've got two teams who want to go through to the semi-finals, players that want to win this game and are very passionate about the game. "It has to be a strong referee and I'm sure he is." Beckham is also confident that England will put up a good show. "Great teams like this, you can't stop them playing sometimes," Beckham added. "They are going to have a lot of possession of course but it's up to us to pass the ball around well. "We know as a team and as players we can do that. Doing it on a big stage like this is important, as I said Portugal will pass the ball around well, it's in their nature, how they play. "They are going to have a certain amount of possession, hopefully we will too." "Hopefully it will be different, these opportunities don't come around very often," he stated. "Physically, we have struggled in tournaments. "In the last couple of games in this tournament we have struggled physically because of the heat. It's up to us to overcome that, we can't have excuses. "Sometimes heat is a factor but, at the quarter final stage, we can't afford to think about things like that." "We've got to forget what's happened in the past, we can't concentrate on past results," Becks added. "What's in the past is in the past, we got to look forward to the future. The future is Saturday's game, we can't think of anything happening after that, you can get carried away. "We're quietly confident, very relaxed and looking forward to it. I'm sure they'll be thinking of that, but there is pressure on both teams to perform. "They've got the better of us in the quarters before and it's up to us, third time lucky and hopefully it's true. "Hopefully, we do get one step further, we've got to concentrate on this quarter final, if we play well we should go through. "It's important the lads enjoy these occasions as they don't come around very often these chances. "We are talking about a quarter final against Portugal with a confident, relaxed squad of players, playing in Europe, these chances of quarter finals don't come up very often. "It could be the last chance for some but we're not thinking about that at the moment." "Obviously this is his last tournament involved as manager of this country, he's always wanted to do well in competitions whether the last one or first one, he always wants to win, like us. "It's the same mentality as the English, he wants us to win, to go as far as possible, and the players are exactly the same. "I think we've had a good relationship, he's got that same relationship with every one of the players that comes into the squad. "It's not just me as captain and manager, the respect is there for the whole squad and for him." "I don't know, sometimes it's like that, football's a funny old game, sometimes that's the way it can be," Beck said. "We are just concentrating on playing our game together as we have done, grinding out results like we have done, then we have a very good chance. "I'm confident, if there's a penalty, I'll step up and take one. "Hopefully it won't come to that but, if it does, we've got players in the team confident enough to take penalties. "You've got to be confident to step up, you can practice as much as you like but nothing compares to the big stage like that, you just have to wait and see." "I think Luis is one of the best in the world, he has been for a while. For many years he has played for many big clubs, performed well at the highest level for many years. "He's one of the best players around and can cause problems to any teams and any defences, he is one player we have to watch." Written by Daniel 【The Photo is 】"Becks confident"
