" It's going to be an interesting game for both of us ( Andre Almeida ) for the right-back position , " said Cedric . " Shown to Portugal was my dream since childhood . " Almeida while jockeying for position would not call it a rivalry . " We both worked hard to join the national team . I'm happy if Cedric appeared . I know right capabilities at the Portugal national team since I was a young age , " he said . Besides defender , striker Helder Postiga was injured . It's a chance for Hugo Almeida or Nelson Oliveira .
