Cristiano Ronaldo quite literally laughed off Germany keeper Jens Lehmann's claim that he knows a secret recipe to contain Portugal´s main danger man. Yesterday the veteran keeper revealed that he had told the German defenders just how to go about stopping Ronaldo, claiming that an ex Arsenal colleague had found him out. According to The Mirror, Ronaldo simply laughed when he was asked to comment by a reporter and said he remembers scoring many a goal against the former Arsenal keeper. Ronaldo also took the opportunity to respond to Germany captain Michael Ballack, who he suggested had engaged in mind games ahead of tonight's mouthwatering quaterfinal by labeling Portugal as favourites. "I don't know why Ballack said that but it's not important because in the end the team that plays better will win," said the United star. "The details will solve the match, not the talk. The main objective is to win, and our team is confident they will. "And as for suggestions that Ricardo is a weak link, I just don't agree. Ricardo has been having a great championship, he's been playing well. "It is going to be a very, very good game because both teams are very good and play at a high level," he added. "I would say Portugal is more technical and Germany has more physically strong players. "But this won't be a problem for us because our players have great experience and we know very well what we're going to do on the pitch. "But Germany have a great team. I watched them against Austria on television and saw some nice football. "Germany is strong and mature - you know it's going be a tough match for us. I would say it's a very difficult game but every team has a weakness and that includes Germany."
