Scolari eyeing improvement
21/06/2006: Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari feels his side is getting better and will show its worth when the knockout stages begin.
Portugal have booked their place in the second round with wins over Angola and Iran and face Mexico in their final Group D game on Wednesday and can top the group if they avoid defeat.
Scolari will rest those players who are on a yellow card, even though Mexico can still be denied qualification from the group by Angola, as he wants all his players available for the second round match against either Holland or Argentina.
The Brazilian tactician feels that his team is showing signs of improvement and will get stronger the further they progress.
Scolari said: "In the first game (a 1-0 win over Angola) the players were a little nervous.
"In the second game (a 2-0 win over Iran) we played better and produced a much better performance.
"We reached the objective, which was to qualify for the second phase, and now we must prepare fully for the knockout stages.
"We are growing as the tournament goes on which is what I planned for. For the following round we need to take our game to a new level.
"We need to step things up and pick up even more confidence."
