World Cup means that a team goes home, and the contest between Portugal and Morocco is even more special. After Portugal lost 0 to 1 to Morocco, not only the Portuguese team ended the World Cup Tour, and a generation of superstar C Ronaldo also ended the last World Cup match, and bid farewell to the youth of many people. After the game, Ronaldo cried bitterly, which was heartbreaking. In the post-match interview, the 68-year-old Portuguese coach also talked about Ronaldo's crying, and bluntly said that he and Ronaldo were the two most hurt people!
As we all know, the 68-year-old Portuguese coach Fernando Santos has coached Portugal for more than 8 years, and the Portuguese national team is also the team with the longest experience in his coaching career. This World Cup is the second time that Santos and Ronaldo have jointly entered the World Cup. The two had won the 2016 European Cup together. However, the Portuguese coach, who claimed to be an old friend with Ronaldo, put the 37-year-old Ronaldo on the bench in the last two games until the team was eliminated. Be exposed!
After the game, Ronaldo went straight to the locker room with tears in his eyes. In the player tunnel, Ronaldo couldn't hold back his tears. Head coach Santos also accepted media interviews afterwards. He emphasized more than once that putting Ronaldo on the bench was a helpless move, a difficult strategic decision, and the result of having to think with his head. And Santos sighed: If I think about it with my heart, I will never put Ronaldo on the bench!
The Portuguese coach, who regards Ronaldo as an old friend, repeatedly said after the game: Ronaldo is a great player, and letting him sit on the bench this time will not have any impact on it. However, Santos' helplessness and regret after the game were still palpable. When he talked about Ronaldo's tears after the game, he bluntly said that in human language, Ronaldo and himself are the two most hurt people! It is reported that Portugal will fire the national team coach Santos, whose contract expires in 2024, within a few days at the earliest!
There is no doubt that the tactical decision-making and rational thinking of the brain that Santos has always emphasized failed to bring Portugal a well-deserved victory. His remarks after the game also reflected a trace of remorse and regret. If you have been thinking hard and firmly supporting Ronaldo as the spiritual leader of the team to start the game, even if the result has not changed much, at least Ronaldo will still regard him as one of his best friends and teachers!
