Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo is looking forward to representing his nation in their upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Denmark and Iceland, and is aware that six points are imperative for their aspirations of reaching the finals.

A Seleccao have begun their campaign disastrously, drawing 4-4 at home to Cyprus before going down to a 1-0 defeat in Norway.

Speaking at a press conference at his national team camp today, Ronaldo said of the matches: “The past is past, now we have to think about this. If we win the next two games, we will breathe a little better. We are in a difficult situation, but the team is fine. We are anxious for Friday to come, and to win.

“We have lost at home to Denmark before [in September 2008 during World Cup qualifying] but this will be a different story. The team is confident, and I am confident. We will give a good response, and we will win.”

CR7 also commented on Real Madrid’s start to the new season, and believes that they are beginning to find their form after a slow beginning.

He remarked: “The team is growing, and we saw this against Deportivo. There are more teams in the league that are dangerous, Valencia are also a rival of ours. But I believe that the team is feeling physically better.”
