He  also spent the 2004-05 season playing under Sam Allardyce at Bolton  Wanderers.As well as Portugal, Spain will face Iran and Morocco in Group B in Russia.La Roja were heavily fancied to win the tournament, boasting a squad  packed with world-class players, but it remains to be seen how they will  adjust to their new circumstances.</blockquote>
