Cristiano Ronaldo Exits Field While Teammates Rejoice in Their 6-1 Victory Over Switzerland
In the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Portugal's manager Fernando Santos has kept fans guessing about Cristiano Ronaldo's involvement in the quarter-final match against Morocco. During Portugal's Round of 16 match against Switzerland, Santos opted to bench Ronaldo, bringing him on in the second half. However, he did not guarantee the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's participation in the upcoming game. This decision came after a less-than-impressive performance from Ronaldo in the previous match, where he did not contribute directly to any of Portugal's goals. His lack of celebration with his teammates after the 6-1 victory over Switzerland also raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, speculation about Ronaldo's role in the team has been fuelled by a viral video showing him heading back to the storage locker room not long after the permanent whistle. Another video of his response after the full time whistle has left many fans bemused. However, Santos has emphasised the importance of considering the player's background, highlighting his status as a top-tier player and captain. He suggested that all players, including those not in the starting lineup, can be used in the quarter-final match. Portugal will face Morocco in the quarter-final on December 10. The team will be looking to secure a spot in the semi-finals and continue their journey in the FIFA World Cup. This article was last updated on December 8, 2022, and sourced from NDTV.
