About an hour before the duel against Morocco, this Saturday (10th), at 12h, for the quarterfinals of the World Cup, the Portuguese coach Fernando Santos released his team’s lineup with only one change in relation to the last game, against Switzerland.
The coach opted for Rúben Neves in place of William Carvalho. In this way, Cristiano Ronaldo, who warmed up the bench for a good part of the match against the Swiss, will again be waiting for an opportunity against the Moroccans.
The captain of the Portuguese national team has lost space in the team since the last clash in the group stage of the World Cup, when he criticized Fernando Santos after being substituted with about half an hour left to play.
According to the commander, the two had a conversation about what happened, Cristiano Ronaldo did not like being removed from the team, but he maintained his decision.
Portugal takes the field with Diogo Costa; Diogo Dalot, Pepe, Rúben Dias and Raphael Guerreiro; Rúben Neves and Otávio; Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and João Félix; Gonçalo Ramos.
