The Portuguese coach opens his heart…
Portuguese Fernando Santos addressed for the first time very clearly everything related to his relationship with his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, especially during the 2022 World Cup, delivering a great shock to followers.
The shock is that he confirmed that he did not speak to Ronaldo at all after the World Cup, and that this makes him sad because he was like his son or his close friend throughout his career.
In his loud interview with the Portuguese newspaper “Apola”, he also discussed the secrets of Ronaldo’s exclusion from participating as a starter in the matches between Switzerland and Morocco, which caused a major problem between him and “The Don”.

Santosh said: “Ronaldo missed the pre-season. He was not ready in terms of physical condition. This is what prompted me to rule him out.”
He added: “In the match against Switzerland, I did not start with him and things went well. Before the match with Morocco, I told him that he would not participate in the start. He misunderstood me, and I accepted that and I expected it.”
Santosh confirms that if he could turn back time again, he would do the same thing, and that he does not regret at all his decisions regarding Ronaldo in the 2022 World Cup.
Santosh also pointed out that Ronaldo is still like a son to him, stressing that he “will be by the phone” if the Saudi Al-Nasr player wants to communicate with him in the future.
