Portugal boss, Fernando Santos has come under fire over his decision to again, start Cristiano Ronaldo from the bench in their 1-0 defeat to Morocco in the quarterfinal of the World Cup on Saturday.
The superstar’s partner Georgina Rodríguez has hit hard at the coach after their shock World Cup defeat to Morocco on Saturday.
The North African side became the first ever African nation to reach the semi-final stage of the FIFA World Cup.
Ronaldo wept as he hurried down the tunnel after full-time of what is likely his last World Cup.
Santos used the same starting XI that beat Switzerland 6-1 in the round of sixteen, meaning that the legendary Ronaldo began the game on the bench.
“Today your friend and coach made the wrong decision,” Rodríguez posted on Instagram.
“That friend for whom you have so many words of admiration and respect. The same one who, when putting you on the field, saw how everything changed, but it was too late.
“You can’t underestimate the best player of the world, his most powerful weapon. Much less should one stand up for those who don’t deserve it.”
