Marta Torrejón, the Spain captain, is reishing the challenge against the tournament debutants. "I spoke to my brother, Marc (of Union Berlin), yesterday. He asked if I was ready and of course I am. We’re ready and we want to get on with the games. My brother has been a player I’ve always looked up to.
"This is different to the qualifiers. We’ve got a strong Portugal team with great players like Claudia Neto in front of us. We’re ready for it and we’ve prepared for the match just like they have."
