As Portugal prepare to compete for a place in the Euro 2016 final, the defender reflected on his route up in international football
Jose Fonte spoke with pride over how his journey to the Euro 2016 semi-final is dramatically different to the one enjoyed by Cristiano Ronaldo, as the Portugal team-mates prepare to face Wales on Wednesday.
While Ronaldo's rise to prominence saw him become the world's most expensive player and Real Madrid's all-time top scorer among other notable highlights, Fonte's career has included turning out for Southampton in each of the top three divisions in English football.
