World Cup: Ronaldo and Portugal also reached the 1/8 finals

The names of the first trio that made it to the 1/8 finals of the World Cup would not swear in the living room of the last four of the tournament. After France and Brazil, Portugal joined these other two big nations in the game to offer themselves a comfortable final warm-up round against South Korea. After Ghana, Cristiano Ronaldo and his entire little gang threw Uruguay overboard and brought Celeste back to what it is: a great choice of story that doesn’t play the game. Rodrigo Bentancur signed world-class action, starting from his camp in a rush. ended with a double contact and hit Porto goalkeeper Diego Costa, but otherwise the South Americans watched this match as if they were not there. Maxi Gomez and his post at the 75th minute will also remain a mirage.

Four years ago in Russia they gave CR7 and company no chance in the round of 16 before losing to eventual world champion France. The difference in intentions between the two rivals was not only last night at Lusail Stadium, but also in the final on 18 December. Portugal, despite a brawl with their coach Fernando Santos, remains extremely technical with Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes and formidable ahead with Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s richest unemployed man. The former Mancunian asks for all the balls with every Portuguese attack and everyone knows what can happen to a carrier who forgets about it. It is his call that will allow Bruno Fernandes to deceive Sergio Rocher in the opening. But the CR7 would have another puff.

Nuno Mendez injured

The only regret, in fact, with the 2016 European champion is that he has not shown the offensive potential of his potential for six years, regardless of the state of form of his five-time Golden Ball. He defends quite well, owns the game in the center and, despite his attacking talent, cannot cover quickly. A VAR penalty and twilight will take over Uruguay, Edinson Cavani, a vacuum runner. Speaking of PSG and one of his exes, an injury to Nuno Mendez (42nd) sees a third of Parisians (4 out of 12) temporarily or permanently out of the tournament following the departure of Prenel Kimpembe and injuries to Neymar (ankle). and Danilo Pereira (sides) in Qatar. Vitinha, who was on the bench against Celeste but is due to play against South Korea, is alerted in some way.
