Portugal head coach Fernando Santos said the European champions have plenty of room for improvement heading into the World Cup following their 3-0 win over Algeria.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned as Portugal prepared for the Russia showpiece with a routine victory against Algeria thanks to Goncalo Guedes’ brace Thursday.
Guedes produced an eye-catching performance with goals either side of half-time to give Portugal a boost ahead of their Group B opener against Spain in Sochi June 15.
“We are still far from ideal, it is with the championship that we will grow,” Santos said in Lisbon post-match.
“There are some things to fine-tune, there are players who are playingfor the first time together in this selection.”
