After the final whistle of the Luz Stadium in Lisbon, Ronaldo fell to the ground in tears. He sat there with a sorry expression and shook his head. Andre Silva RB from Leipzig came to him and helped him stand up. But Ronaldo sat on the lawn again. This is a shame. When he got up, the head coach Fernando Santos walked over to shake hands. But Ronaldo was just dissatisfied and continued to complain, and was absolutely uneasy about the football world. He concealed from himself what was going on. But the emotion is completely spoiled, this is very clear.
For the European champions since 2016, tonight has a very good start.After Bernardo Silva won the ball in the opposing half, the former Bayern player Renato Sanchez In the second minute, Portugal led 1-0.Everything speaks for them now Angle of choice, Especially because a tie with Serbia with the same number of points but a worse goal difference will win first place. But first Dusan Tadic equalized the score after goalkeeper Rui Patricio (33.) made a serious error, and Alexander Mitrovic (90. + 3) won in stoppage time.
“We are sad”
The head coach of confession, Santos, tried his hand at the last minute, verbally optimistic about the painful blow, because at that moment he didn’t seem to believe his words: “I believe we will be there. I think in the cabin, “He said on the TV station RTP3. “We didn’t draw a tie in the game against Serbia. The players tried and I tried, but it was not enough. We had too much trouble.” It was obvious. Because the success of the Serbs in Lisbon is by no means well-deserved.
João Palhinha is one of the few players to speak up after the defeat. “We didn’t play well, we only defended in the second half, but the World Cup is still within reach,” he said. “We were very sad in the locker room because we did not advance directly, but we were eligible to participate in the competition.” Then he almost became philosophical. Life is not a constant victory. “All people who succeed in life experience difficult times. This feeling must give us more strength,” the midfielder said.
Ronaldo must be angry at the moment of disappointment. Because Serbia’s first leg match has not been forgotten. It was 2-2 in March, but a clear goal was achieved from Ronaldo. Shot in stoppage time, the ball fell far behind the line. But at the time, referee Danny Mackelly, who had no goal technology or video assistant help, did not hit the ball. Ronaldo threw away the captain’s armband and stomped down the lawn. The teammates and coach also scolded. With this victory and three points afterwards, Portugal must already have World Cup tickets.
