Portugal manager Fernando Santos said that he would not change his decision of leaving Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench even after his team was knocked-out from the World Cup due to a 1-0 defeat against Morocco in their quarter-final clash. FIFAWorldCup

Portugal’s all-time leading goal scorer with 118 goals in 195 appearances, Ronaldo was benched for Tuesday’s 6-1 win over Switzerland in the last 16 where the 21-year-old Ramos scored three in only his fourth appearance.

Ronaldo stormed off the pitch after the final whistle crying effusively while being comforted by his team mates.“It wouldn’t change anything, in terms of the team I can’t be thinking with my heart.“The strategic decision that I had to make was one of the hardest, but I can’t think with my heart, I have to think with my head.

Santos refused to comment on whether he will resign and said that he will talk to the Portuguese FA president over the next week about his future. He said his team had difficulties finding spaces between the disciplined Moroccan defensive lines, and he praised their opponents for their effort, saying it was “completely their merit.”“We showed effort and quality, had several chances to score with Joao Felix, and Bruno Fernandes hit the bar, Pepe had a header in the end that could have been the equaliser… A bit of luck was missing.”

Christmas is fast approaching, Never depend on your monthly salary,I never knew I would be earning much trading online with the help of AmelieLemaire0

The likelihood of him retaining his job is very unlikely

Wouldn't have made sense to leave Ramos out after his previous performance...Ronaldo hasn't performed that excellently this world cup..lack of game time from Man U showed. Morroco just planned and played well...

Uthe yini isizathu sakhe?
