World Cup: Don’t blame him – Santos disagrees with Fernandes on who caused Portugal exit

Portugal coach, Fernando Santos, has disagreed with Bruno Fernandes over who to blame for their exit from the 2022 World Cup.

Youssef En-Nesyri scored the only goal as Morocco beat the former European champions 1-0 on Saturday.

After the game, Fernandes blamed Argentine referee Facundo Tello who is from Argentina, for their loss.

However, Santos does not think the officials made a big difference.

“I don’t think so, I think he could have called for a foul on one or two (more) occasions, but generally speaking, I don’t think so.

“I think we could have done more and we didn’t do so. I don’t think we should blame the referee, it doesn’t make sense,” Santos said.
