The 30-year-old defender, who is leading his country's Euro 2008 campaign in the absence of injured Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky, fears they could spend too much time concentrating on the Manchester United winger and risk leaving the rest of the Portugal side unmarked.

Ronaldo hit 42 goals for United last season but Ujfalusi says their Group A opponents are not a oneman-team. He said: "I haven't had the opportunity to play against Ronaldo yet but they are an extremely dangerous team - also Quaresma, Nani, Simao - these are also very fast players.

"We have to be very careful, very attentive and we must be impeccable in defence. It is vital we do not make mistakes in defence. We saw the Portugal-Turkey match and we are well aware of the fact their attackers are very strong. We are preparing very well and hopefully they will not have too many opportunities to score."

A win for Portugal would secure their place in the quarter-finals but midfielder Deco is taking nothing for granted. He said: "It is going to be as difficult a game as the one against Turkey, if not more so. We know we're not through the first phase yet, so there will be no over-confidence on our part."
