The coach of Portugal, Fernando Santos, has congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo for the professionalism shown.
Cristiano Ronaldo started Portugal’s game against Switzerland on the bench, and the coach’s decision was widely commented on in the media. It was even said that Ronaldo has expressed his dissatisfaction with this decision.
However, these reports were denied by Fernando Santos, who said that Ronaldo did not cause any problems and that the parties have jointly agreed on the decision.
“Cristiano has shown that he is a professional and a true captain. He didn’t create any problems, really,” said Santos.
“We talked before the match and he has no problem with my decision. Cristiano is an example,” added the Portuguese.
Portugal has reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup and will play against Morocco. It remains to be seen if Ronaldo will return to the starting position. /
