Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal future left up in the air, Details here
Fernando Santos refused to offer Cristiano Ronaldo a clear route back into his starting lineup after dropping him for Portugal’s scintillating 6-1 win over Switzerland
It says the matter had been closed but suggesting his future role is up in the air.
Portugal played with freedom and daring against opponents who could not handle their attack
Benfica striker Gonçalo Ramos replaced Ronaldo, who had annoyed Santos with his reaction to being substituted during Friday’s defeat by South Korea
Ramos also set up a goal for Raphaël Guerreiro and will surely be impossible to leave out of the quarter-final against Morocco on Saturday.
Santos says there were no remaining issues with Ronaldo but, asked whether Ronaldo would have to accept a new function in the squad, remained vague about his prospects.
Ronaldo and I never misinterpret the human and personal aspect with that of manager and player.
The matter is something that is finished and solved.
It is also important to look at this player’s history, he is one of the best players in the world and therefore all we have to do is come in collectively.”
