Nani and Moutinho train sights on trophy

João Moutinho and Nani are already looking ahead to a UEFA EURO 2012 semi-final against either Spain or France next Wednesday in Donetsk after Cristiano Ronaldo's 79th-minute header earned Portugal victory over the Czech Republic. The pair emphasised the importance of rest and recuperation, or taking it step by step; but neither could resist looking a little further ahead, to the 1 July showpiece in Kyiv.

We knew it was going to be a very difficult match. We said it before kick-off, that this was a game against an excellent team, a team that knew Portugal's strengths. They tried to play on the counterattack, on our errors, but we managed to control the match in our own way in order to create opportunities. We managed to score a goal, which was enough to secure passage to the semi-finals.

Now we're going to rest, we've got several days to restore our strength. We'll have all our energy for the semi-finals so that we can reach another final, which would be very important both for Portugal and for us personally.

We have to take it step by step, as we have done up until now. Now we need to think about the match in the semi-finals. And if we win that...
