Roberto Martinez remains confident ahead of the Euro 2024 knockout stage but admitted to feeling wary of Slovenia ahead of their last-16 meeting.
The Selecao sealed top spot in Group F with a game to spare after wins over Czechia and Turkiye.
However, they were stunned in their final group outing as they were beaten 2-0 by surprise-package Georgia on Wednesday.
Martinez noted the improvements Portugal have worked on since their disappointing end to the group stage, with his mind on the tough test ahead.
I can say that after three games, the team is ready, Martinez said. A new tournament starts now, it s in or out.
It s not easy to play at Euro, but as a team we are prepared to face this knockout phase.
Portugal is fresh, we re ready, and I would like to answer questions on 15 July [after the final].
