One of Portugal’s highlights in Qatar, Bruno Fernandes praised the team’s star attitude in a match against Switzerland for the Cup
The world was surprised by the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting lineup of Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 of the World Cup🇧🇷 Fernando Santos chose to leave the Portuguese idol on the bench and put Gonçalo Ramos – who scored three goals – in the starting lineup. After the match, Bruno Fernandes spoke about the situation.
The midfielder is Portugal’s assist leader, with three passes on goal in Qatar, and has scored twice for the European side. He said that Cristiano’s attitude when he entered the field was worthy of his greatness.
– Hardly anyone stays out, but the best answer was the one he gave when he entered the field. Nothing better than helping the team, which is what it takes. The goal is the same for everyone – said Bruno.
Bruno also highlighted the difficulties the star player had when he was placed among the substitutes. For an athlete who has won it all and been a star from a young age, the situation can be complicated.
– Since he was 17 or 18 he has been a regular in every team and doesn’t like being on the bench. So, imagine a player who has achieved everything he has achieved and is as ambitious as he is? – he declared.
Portugal return to action next Saturday, at 12:00 (Brasilia time), when they face Morocco for a place among the best four teams in the World Cup. The duel, valid for the quarter-finals, takes place at the Al Thumama stadium in Doha.
