Ronaldo refuses to train with Portugal substitutes

The day after their 6-1 victory over Switzerland in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, Portugal coach Fernando Santos started preparing his squad for the quarter-final against Morocco. And Cristiano Ronaldo once again scored a scandalous trick.

Substitutes who did not take part in the match against Switzerland or spent less than 30 minutes on the pitch had a full training session on the pitch, the rest worked out in the gym.

Ronaldo, who only came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute against Switzerland, refused to train with substitutes and went to the gym with the team. At the same time, it is noted that such a decision is not associated with any harm to Ronaldo – he is in optimal physical shape.

Earlier in the media it was reported that Ronaldo he wanted to leave the World Cup, when he learned he would be an unused substitute for the match against Switzerland. Portugal will play the quarter-finals against Morocco on 10 December.
