Portugal starred against Switzerland, winning 6-1. Football career without the honorary name Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 who only played the last 20 minutes is no longer necessary for Raymond Domenech. He fails a lot.
Contrary to expectations, the biggest success occurred in the round of 16 in Portugal and Switzerland. In a seemingly balanced encounter, the Portuguese finally dismantled their Swiss counterparts by scoring six goals. Full performance at the collective level while Cristiano Ronaldo was on the bench. Obviously, he was punished by Fernando Santos for his attitude towards South Korea. The CR7 wasn’t happy off the field and it showed a lot. The coach preferred to align Gonzalo Ramos against Nati.
Ronaldo is too old, Dominic no longer wants him on the field
Despite the concerns associated with this choice, he handled it well. A Benfica player set up a hat-trick, Portugal have never looked like this in official competition. A mass demonstration without its star poses a dilemma for the coach: Should he dispense with Cristiano Ronaldo in the first 11 of the quarter-finals? Yes to Raymond Dominic, who considers CR7 too old to help the Selecao produce the game.

” I saw the picture at 81e A minute he has to delve into it and I thought he was serious. It’s not progressing anymore, it made me feel sorry for what it is and what it was. I say yes, of course they play better without him because they are already playing eleven instead of ten. Because he can’t anymore, he can head a little ball, corner kick, but in the game he’s practically useless to them so yeah, they play better without him He said in a very harsh manner in the evening’s team. A conclusion far from being definitive for the former Blues coach while a recent poll showed that 70% of the Portuguese want to replace the CR7 in the rest of the World Cup.
