Only 10 players who were in Portugal’s defeat to Celeste remain in the squad in 2022
For the second time in history, Portugal And Uruguay facing each other in a world Cup🇧🇷 The last challenge between the two teams dates back to four years ago, when Celeste eliminated the Portuguese at the World Cup in Russia, in the eighth finals, 2-1.
Four years have passed and manager Fernando Santos has taken advantage of the new Portuguese harvest to change different parts of the squad. From the painful defeat in Russia to the new duel in 2022, there are only 10 left, representing 38% of the squad in Qatar.
Ruà PatrÃcio, Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro, William Carvalho, João Mário, Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo were regulars in Russia, while Rúben Dias, Bruno Fernandes and André Silva were options on the bench at the time.
Of these, only CR7, Rúben Dias, Bruno and Bernado remain with the captive chair and the maximum prestige of the coach. The others are growing up in world football, but are usually substitutes in Fernando Santos’ squad.
With a climate of revenge, the Portuguese wants to “repay” in Uruguay, further complicate the situation of Diego Alonso’s team in group H and secure the round of 16 of the World Cup.
