Portugal head coach Fernando Santos was full of praise for his side’s next opponents, as he said Tuesday night that Morocco were "one of the best teams in Africa".
Portugal and Morocco will meet on Wednesday in their Group B encounter in Moscow.
“The team are prepared for the game. Morocco are an excellent side, one of the best in Africa, with an experienced coach, with players from European leagues. They're a very well-organized team, a team that plays the game on the edge, puts all the intensity onto the pitch, and we have to respond to that. Tomorrow we have to impose our qualities but in the first place give everything we have to give,” Santos told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
Portugal were held to a 3-3 draw against Spain, with forward Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick, while Morocco lost 1-0 to Iran thanks to an own goal in stoppage time.
