China News Service, Doha, December 9 (reporter Xing Yi) in response to rumors that C Luo had a dispute with coach Santos because he was dissatisfied with becoming a substitute in the 1/8 final and even threatened to leave the team. Santos responded on the 9th that, ronaldo was indeed unhappy because of his substitute status, but he never said he would leave the national team.
Portugal won the Swiss team by 6:1 in the 1/8 final on the 6th, while Ronaldo, who started three consecutive matches in the group match, sat on the bench, he didn’t play until the 74th minute of the second half, which attracted the attention of the outside world. On the 10th, Portugal will compete with Morocco for the top four seats. At the pre-match press conference on the 9th, Santos responded to rumors related to Ronaldo’s substitute.
Santos said that after lunch on the day of the 1/8 final, he talked with Ronaldo and explained why Ronaldo would not start, and told Ronaldo that his second half could help the team win the game. “Of course, C Luo is not very happy, because he always plays as a starter, so it is normal for him to be unhappy. This is a very normal and calm conversation, but he never told me that he wanted to leave the national team.”
Santos also called on the media to stop making up. “Now many people will only blame C Luo, which seems to be a fashion.” He said that every time the team scored a goal, Ronaldo would jump up and applaud. After the match, he asked his teammates to thank the audience, but the outside world only caught him leaving the stadium. “He has done everything for Portuguese football. He should not be treated like this by the media. Don’t bother him.”
Felix, who attended the pre-match press conference, was also asked this question, but Felix refused to answer it. “We have to face more intense competition now. We must unite and ask the outside world not to disturb the atmosphere of the national team.”
However, Felix said bluntly that he did not think that Ronaldo’s playing or not would have a direct impact on Portugal’s game, nor did he feel obliged to pass the ball to Ronaldo. “When he is on the court, he can bring what others don’t have, but our tactics are the same. He plays or doesn’t play and the team performs well and badly, there is no direct relationship.”
For the match with Morocco, Felix believes that this is a difficult eight-strong battle. “But what is certain is that we are ready.” (Finished)
