During one drill, Quaresma was pushed to the ground by Lopes whereupon the winger kicked out at the defender&rsquo;s legs. Teammates quickly stepped in to prevent the situation getting worse. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/ricardocosta.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 551px; " /> Portugal&rsquo;s Ricardo Costa Defender Ricardo Costa stood in front of Quaresma to calm him down while coach Paulo Bento also got involved. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just normal things that happen in training,&rdquo; Costa said at a news conference later. &ldquo;Things got a bit heated between two players. We&rsquo;re pumped up, we always want to win and sometimes small things happen. &ldquo;Everything&rsquo;s sorted now. We all want to play (in the semi-final) and sometimes stuff happens.&rdquo; Portugal beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in the first Euro 2012 quarter final on Thursday. They will play the winner of Saturday&rsquo;s Spain-France match next Wednesday. u00a0
