I don't know why the coach felt Ronaldo was unnecessary in the last two games. Coach Fernando Santos did not give Ronaldo enough opportunities to play against Switzerland. Even then, Portugal played well against Switzerland. Perhaps this is the reason why coach Santos does not want to give Ronaldo a chance against Morocco. Morocco's defense is very strong. Coach Santos needed to have players like Ronaldo on the field from the start to break such a defense. I don't know why Santos made such a stupid decision.
That's why I said the coach took too big a risk, so that Portugal had to be eliminated in the quarter-finals against Maroco. The presence of Cristian Ronaldo in the early minutes will actually make it difficult for the Maroco defense to guard him, so that he has free space that other players can take advantage of in attack.
Because if Maroco played openly and without guarding against Cristian Ronaldo, the match could have ended differently, although we need to appreciate Maroco's steps to reach the semi-finals.
The worst error Portugal's coach made was not playing Ronaldo during the first half. How could you start the game without starting Ronaldo when you know full well how his presence will affect Morocco's defense
Ronaldo has given Portugal's national team his all. We are aware of his prior contributions to their victories. He's not at his best right now since he's receiving criticism from people all over the world.
His decision to finish his football career in this way is very tragic. The effect he had and the history he contributed to football will go on forever.
And finally the coach had to accept a bad result against Maroco, even though Fernando Santos put Cristian Ronaldo on in the second half, but I think it was too late for them to put pressure on Maroco's defense, admit it or not Cristian Ronaldo is a perfect player. So that his presence in the early minutes will have an effect, especially in important matches that are quite crucial, such as against Maroco.
But unfortunately the coach saw other conditions, so in the previous two matches Cristian Ronaldo played off the bench, moreover this was the last World Cup for the mega star, now he can concentrate on playing in which league, or ending his career in football.
