BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium have no specific plan to counter the threat of Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo when the two sides meet in the European Championship last-16, coach Roberto Martinez said on Friday.

Martinez said Portugal posed multiple threats, but Belgium were looking forward to the challenge in Seville on Sunday.

“Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who seems to pick the right moment, that right pass and right place and you have to always be aware. We all know he is one of the best footballers in the world. “You can see why this team has been successful, why they won the Euros and the Nations League. It’s because they have a incredible mentality and they know how to play the big games.”
