Poland v Portugal: Nani refutes Greece comparisons

Fernando Santos' men are yet to truly impress at Euro 2016, but Nani feels they are playing an entertaining brand of football and hope to reach the semis

Nani believes Portugal's Euro 2016 quarter-final against Poland will be one to enjoy for the fans, rejecting suggestions that Fernando Santos' tactics have turned the team turgid.

Portugal qualified from Group F at Euro 2016 without winning a match and required extra time to see off Croatia 1-0 in Lyon in the last 16.

Three of their four goals during the round robin stage came during a helter-skelter 3-3 draw against group winners Hungary but Fenerbahce forward Nani does not believe Santos is shackling Portugal's creative talents with tactics akin to his 2010-14 spell in charge of Greece

"I do not see it like this," he said.
