Portugal midfielder Adrien Silva is expecting a tough test against Morocco as he revealed coach Fernando Santos is constantly demanding more from the European champions.
Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show with a stunning hat-trick in Portugal’s Group B opener with Spain on Friday, securing a share of the spoils from a fantastic encounter in Sochi.
Leicester City midfielder Silva did not make an appearance from the bench, although Santos could well rotate his players for Wednesday’s meeting with Morocco, who slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Iran in their opening fixture.
And the 29-year-old insists Portugal will not take their opposition lightly, with Santos instilling a winning mentality.
“We are focused on analysing and surpassing the Morocco team. In my opinion, Morocco deserved to have won the game with Iran.
“There are no easy games. We played against a great favourite, we have also created difficulties for our opponents. It was a positive result, but we didn’t want a tie.”
