You don't put a player like Ronaldo on a bench during world cup, period.

Just see the difference between how Argentina treated Messi and how Portugal treated Ronaldo in the world cup 2022

[kezkn]

This was personal. The management is forced Cristiano on the bench for the open interview.
Why else or who would bench Cristiano in a World cup ????

[Aayublogs]

Santos broken millions of heart of Portuguese and also of the football lovers in the world he make it personal beyond his nation.

[alexlunminlien]

Nah you dont benched the star player like Ronaldo in a KO match unless it’s personal….

[phaokip]

Because of Ronaldo every young and old came to know PORTUGAL. . But in the last Portugal let him sit in the bench and finally cry in the field.😭😭so sad

[DAA-ish]

Just remember: Form is temporary, Class is permanent. Santos forgot that.

Luis Figo: "You can't win a World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. Win against Switzerland? Excellent! But can you do that in every game? No.

Leaving CR7 on the bench was a mistake, this defeat is the responsibility of the management and the manager."

Coach is to be blamed...he is running away with these silly excuses, , presence of CR7 in the last match would have been different. Not letting CR7 play his game proved disastrous. Yes, coaches make decisions and it was his wrong decision. Love and admiration for CR7 always...you are a legend man 💗

[artucu]

I DONT believe Santo’s explanation for a minute. Let’s say he was genuine, then His decision was nothing short of amateur and irresponsible. Santos let his team down. His wrong decision caused grave consequences for the team.

Morocco its a strong team! Fernando Santos did three big mistakes:
1. Overestimated the young Portuguese players
2. Underestimated Morocco team.
3. Kill the whole emotional, energetical and intellectual power of Portuguese Team benching Cristiano Ronaldo.

[OhLewat]

Ronaldo should have been played from the start, because this is his last world cup 😌

[bustarhymes]

He's not the right coach because he made the wrong decision as a coach by benching cr7. It was he's last World Cup and should have kept him in playing 11 for all matches because we all know what cr7 can do and what he is 💗 🐐

[KaiEmblem]

The coach wanted to please the israelian since christiano is known to be anti israel...he doesnt shake hands with any israelian since they commit horrible crimes against palestinians. We in holland have great respect for christiano and its so sad to see him being benched like this. The coach is truly disgusting. Free palestine 🇱🇺🇵🇸 christiano ronaldo u will be remembered as one of the greatest players with the greatest morals in soccer history.

[aganbraganca]

[dorymuhardi]

[taefahmed]

A tiger is always a tiger, even if he is weak now... don't compare it with a strong cat... Santos problem didn't have this common sense....🤣🤣

[singularity]

[InverseBeasts]

I can gurrantee people that no other players and coaches wanted the 2022 wc more than messi and ronaldo.Ronaldo would try to give his everything in his last wc.But he trusted a new star instead of the past 4 wc experienced player.

[dwightwhyte]
