It was Portugal manager Fernando Zaneras’ decision not to include Rono, who can change the game on his own, is fantastic with headers and is extremely good at finishing. The coach put great faith in the team that beat Switzerland 6-1 in the qualifying rounds.
Gonzalo Ramos replaced Cristiano in the starting eleven. But the match played against Switzerland was not enough to beat Morocco. Ramos was unable to face any major challenges in the first half. Portugal were shocked when Morocco took the lead through Nesiri’s goal. Cristiano sat down on the bench and put his hand on his head.
When the team was 1-0 down, the coach sent Cristiano onto the pitch in the 51st minute of the first and second half. While failing to break down the Moroccan back wall, Cristiano did see a couple of touch attempts towards the end of the game. Cristiano was in Portugal’s first eleven in the group stage of the Qatar World Cup. The player started being ignored when he reached the knockout stage.
Another era comes to an end as Portugal are knocked out with a defeat to Morocco. Cristiano left the field in tears. At least this time the Parangis captain has come to Qatar with the belief that he will return home with the crown. Finally ignored by his own team, he bowed his head and returned in tears.
Morocco has written a new history in world football; Out of Portugal and Ronaldo
Although African side Morocco are happy to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time, the return of Cristiano Ronaldo is encouraging for football fans. Those beautiful moments of moving the nets with long shots, breaking through any defense with dribbling skills, jumping on someone’s neck and headbutting the ball will not be seen in any other World Cup stadium.
Cristiano returns from the World Cup with the record for goals scored in five World Cups. With his appearance against Morocco, he became the most capped footballer. He wore the boots of the national team in the 196th game. Ronaldo arrived with the record of Kuwaiti Badr Al Muttawa. The 37-year-old was playing in his fifth World Cup. This is probably his last World Cup.
