There was great anger after the Portuguese national team settled for a 0-0 draw against Scotland. The referee especially drew the displeasure of Ronaldo and his teammates after Tuesday’s Nations League match.
In the final minutes of the game, a speedster caused a break. However, the minutes lost were not made up in stoppage time. Much to the frustration of the Portuguese, they were probably hoping for a chance or two to leave Scotland with three points in the bag.
It was clear that Ronaldo was particularly annoyed by referee Lawrence Visser. After the final whistle, the superstar waved his hands wildly, had a verbal argument with the Belgian, and then disappeared into the players’ tunnel – clearly upset .
“I’d rather be quiet.”
When asked by the referee after the match, his teammate Joao Palhinha replied: “I prefer to be quiet, I don’t want to get into trouble. “That’s not why we didn’t win the game. We controlled the game a lot. We deserved more than a draw.”
The Iberians remain top of the Group A1 table, with Roberto Martinez’s side able to secure ten points from four games. On November 15, the Portuguese selection will receive a visit from the Polish national team around the star striker Robert Lewandowski.
