The match at Volksparkstadion on Friday will see Ronaldo and Mbappé go head-to-head as captains of their respective national teams. It's been billed as a "passing of the baton" from Ronaldo to Mbappé in what could be the 39-year-old's last appearance at the European Championship. Silva has played with both players but insists the game means more than just an individual battle. "It's not about Kylian and Cris, it's about Portugal and France," Silva told a news conference on Thursday. "They are at different stages of their careers. Cristiano is one of the best players that there has ever been and Kylian is still in the beginning or middle of his career. The most important thing is not about them, it's about Portugal and France." Silva was once a teammate of Mbappé at Monaco, but said their friendship will be suspended for a day. "He is a wonderful player," said the Manchester City midfielder. "I can only wish him the best for his career, but not tomorrow. This is an amazing chance to be one step closer to our ultimate goal which is to win the trophy. I don't think there is a favourite. They are two national teams with amazing players. We need to be at a very high level to beat France." Portugal have faced criticism following their round-of-16 tie with Slovenia, when they needed penalties to book their place in the quarterfinals after a 0-0 draw. While his reluctance to substitute Ronaldo has been questioned, Portugal coach Roberto Martínez insists every decision he makes is for the good of the team. "Criticism is part of the job," he said. "I have information, and the staff and I prepare each separate game. Criticism shows how passionate people are about the national team and we accept that. "I see the players every day and make decisions. I'm not focused on myself. My job is to get the players performing as best as they can and that's what I'll do." 36 20211220104931 5052220 Large 36 20211220144006 5053371 Large Maxresdefault Cny 2024 1404x630 60ab6d38 09d9 4a41 85f9 Fee8fa204d40 GettyImages 585325684 1024x683 Bank 11 Bank 05 Bank 07 Beijing China 1st Jan 2024 People Wait For The New Year Bell Tolls At The Drum Tower In Tianjin North China Jan 1 2024 Various Events Are Held Across The Country To Celebrate The New Year Credit Sun Fanyuexinhuaalamy Live News 2WA19NT GettyImages 157635572 1024x683 Maxresdefault 2024 Chinese New Year Genuine 2 Bill YEAR.webp Happy Chinese New Year 2024 With The Number 2024 Formed From The Chinese Dragon And Clouds 288411 2367 ?w=2000 Beijing China 31st Jan 2024 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi Also A Member Of The Political Bureau Of The Communist Party Of China Central Committee Hosts The Chinese Foreign Ministrys 2024 New Year Reception At The National Center For The Performing Arts In Beijing Capital Of China Jan 31 2024 More Than 400 People Attended The Event Including Diplomatic Envoys From Various Countries Representatives Of International Organizations In China And Representatives Of Chinese Government Departments Credit Wang Yexinhuaalamy Live News 2wfn2ca Beijing China 1st Jan 2024 People Take Part In A New Year Countdown At The Shougang Park In Beijing Capital Of China Jan 1 2024 Various Events Are Held Across The Country To Celebrate The New Year Credit Zhang Chenlinxinhuaalamy Live News 2WA19P8 Beijing China 14th Feb 2024 Tourists Visit An Ancient Street In Chongqing Southwest China Feb 14 2024 More Chinese People Nowadays Choose To Go On A Journey During The Spring Festival To Experience Different Cultures And Lunar New Year Atmosphere Credit Wang Quanchaoxinhuaalamy Live News 2WJF5YD Beijing Chinas Jiangxi Province 10th Feb 2024 Tourists Watch A Performance At A Temple Fair In The Wanshou Palace Cultural Block In Nanchang East Chinas Jiangxi Province Feb 10 2024 As The Festive Mood Reached Its Peak China On Saturday Ringed In The Chinese Lunar New Year Or The Spring Festival Regarded As The Most Celebrated Holiday Among Chinese It Signifies A Time Of Joyful Family Reunions And A Slew Of Cultural Events Credit Zhang Dongyangxinhuaalamy Live News 2WHHCP9 W020230131349930740409 China Day March 2023 37 Bank 09 3bce3522dce5347dda1ecefe20c9bc24 Maxresdefault 127419199 Mediaitem127419198 1c9a33f7 852c 4393 9020 835812c27bef 65962030a3105f211c84dbed 53321958191 33bb7d31b1 C 64d8daa4a310352610baa013 59C9 Hcmtmyf9993463
