Euro2016: Nani insists Portugal 'rowing in the same direction'

Fenerbahce winger Nani insists that the Portugal national team is 'rowing in the same direction' at Euro2016.

The 29-year-old has scored two goals for the national team on their route to the quarter-finals of the tournament, where they will meet Poland in Marseille on Thursday night.

Speaking ahead of the last 8 clash with the Poles, the former Manchester United man said: "We have shown camaraderie and that we are all rowing in the same direction.

"I can certainly say that for me, this is the best time in the national team for the group that we have. This has been one of the factors that has proved that we are much stronger than before and we are in a good condition to go as far as possible."

However, Portugal have been far from impressive in the ongoing tournament.

"I think we have played good games, like against Hungary, where we gave an attacking exhibition," he added.

"But it's clear that it can't always be like that. Our aim is to go as far as possible and if we need to sacrifice playing well in order to get a result, we will do so."
