A historic day for some, a big disappointment for others. On Saturday, December 10, Morocco eliminated Portugal (1-0) in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. For the first time in the history of the competition, an African country will qualify for the last four. For Portugal, this defeat was a real blow, Seleção came to Qatar with its foreign status. For 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, this was his fifth and final participation in the World Cup.
Already in trouble since the start of the season with Manchester United (where his contract was terminated), CR7 suffered a frustrating World Cup. The author of a single goal fell into the bench from the 16th round by Fernando Santos. His absence from the starting 11 failed to generate much controversy in Portugal. Questions the Portuguese election doesn’t need, according to climate-swaying journalist Nicolas Vilasbad and unhealthy“around the national team.”Will Ronaldo continue? Will Fernando Santos continue? Will Ronaldo continue with Fernando Santos? I put myself in Cristiano’s shoes, I think he experienced all of this as a betrayal (…) There are also things that have been in the Portuguese press lately and that Ronaldo has lived very badly.he started RMC.
Nicolas Vilas then wondered about the timing of the Portuguese election information. “I don’t understand. After the Switzerland game, why shake things up when Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench? During the tournament, Fernando Santos asked the press to unite around the election. Portugal was eliminated, in the second there is a newspaper, who is doing a survey on who is guilty (…) In France, it was passed over with a little silence, but there is another madness. Gonçalo Ramos scores a hat-trick against Switzerland, there is a sex tape released the next day. The man is 21, playing his first World Cup… The air around the election hasn’t smelled good for a while.“, added.
