Portugal had a dream night. Beat Switzerland 6-1 in the last 16. This match is as memorable for Portugal as it is for Cristiano Ronaldo. Because he was not in the team from the beginning of this match. But that’s part of the game, many saw Ronaldo’s absence from the starting XI as a team strategy, but Ronaldo was not happy with the team’s decision from his expression during the match. But above all this a video has risen. The post-match video shows Portugal team members celebrating in front of the crowd near the goal post and Ronaldo heading to the dressing room.
The fans did not take Ronaldo’s exit well where the team was drunk with joy after scoring 6 goals against a team like Switzerland. He was condemned after the video went viral. But not only did he go out after the match, he was not seen rejoicing when the team scored a goal while sitting on the sideline. Just after Pepe’s goal he went to Pepe and cheered.
The last match of the last 16 of the World Cup was between Portugal and Switzerland. Zhardan Shaqiri of Switzerland had warned the team about this match in advance. Ronaldo was especially under his watch. But because of Ronaldo’s misbehavior, the coach did not keep him in the first eleven after the South Korea match. He was replaced by Gonzalo Ramos. He scored a hat trick. However, every time the camera panned towards the skyline throughout the match, it was seen that Ronaldo was sitting a little disappointed. He is also seen turning away from coach Fernando Santos several times.
Later, he could not do anything like that even if he got on the field. Even if a goal is scored it is disallowed for offside. At the end of the match, the players of the two teams were shaking hands with each other, and Ronaldo was there at that time. Then the Portugal team members started cheering separately. At that time, Ronaldo was seen walking towards the dressing room alone. However, he later took to social media to congratulate the team for the win.
However, at the end of the match, Portugal coach Santos said that Ronaldo was not kept in the first eleven for strategy. He said that he wanted to do something different in the death match.
