FIFA World Cup 2022: Some sour-soil talks of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be remembered a lot in the future. In football, if a team throws out its biggest match winner in a knockout match in a big tournament, there can be no bigger news than this. Portugal took on Switzerland in the last match of the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup. But when Portugal announced its team, the whole football world was surprised. Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of Portugal’s starting lineup for their FIFA World Cup round of 16 match against Switzerland. After this, there was a lot of discussion on social media. Let us tell you why the team management suddenly dropped such a big player from the match..?
Ronaldo had a dispute with the coach:
Let us tell you that there was a dispute between Portugal team coach Fernando Sandos and Ronaldo regarding the substitute in the last match. Ronaldo was substituted at the last minute in the last match against South Korea. Ronaldo looked extremely annoyed by this. After this it was expected that the situation would be corrected by the next important match. But this did not happen and Ronaldo was not given a place in the final 11, adding to the controversy. In this match, Gonzalo Ramos was included in his place in the team. Without Ronaldo, Portugal won this knockout match against the Swiss team by a huge margin of 6-1.
Gonzalo Ramos hat trick:
Cristiano Ronaldo is included in the world’s greatest football players. Now putting him on the bench, his coach bet on Gonzalo Ramos. Everyone was surprised at his decision. But as soon as the match started, Gonzalo Ramos did not let Ronaldo’s absence be felt at all. Gonzalo Ramos scored a hat-trick for Portugal, while Pepe, Rafael Guerrero and Rafael Lue scored one each. While on the other hand the Swiss team was able to score only one goal in this match. Ultimately, Switzerland had to be eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after losing 6–1.
