Portugal defender Pepe is backing Cristiano Ronaldo to set the stage alight at the World Cup in South Africa.
Real Madrid's Pepe was named in the Portuguese squad after recovering just in time from a knee ligament injury he suffered in December.
Speaking to club's official website, he said: "I feel good.
"Real Madrid's team of doctors know how important the psychological recovery is for a footballer and both Doctor Diez and Doctor Hernandez think I am of sound mind."
Commenting on his side's preparation for the World Cup, he said: "Portugal is in good shape and we are working hard.
"We are ready and have what it takes to fight for the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo will be the player to keep any eye on.
"He had a strong finish in La Liga and helped Real Madrid a lot. He will be a decisive player in South Africa if he keeps up the pace."
