Holland coach Bert van Marwijk is promising his side will attack Portugal to secure the win they need to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2012.
Consecutive loses to Denmark and Germany leave the 2012 World Cup finalists bottom of Group B needing a victory in their final game and for Germany to beat Denmark in Lviv.
Van Marwijk refused to comment on whether he will start both Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Rafael van der Vaart
to give his team a cutting edge, but he did admit the time for caution had passed.
to give his team a cutting edge, but he did admit the time for caution had passed.
"If you play in a finals tournament, sometimes you only need a draw in your last game to go through," he said.
"But here we have to go for it. In the hope that Germany win, we know from the start that after 90 minutes we will need to have won by a two-goal margin.
"I have that in mind. That's what the tactics are based on and you'll see that.
"It's going to be a very hectic game."
