Santos was critical of his star, who wasn’t impressed with being substituted in the 65th minute of a 2\u002D1 loss to South Korea on Friday

“Let’s split this answer in two,” Santos said when asked about it Monday. “Right after the match, I spoke in the flash interview and then went to the press conference, and there I said something I’ll repeat here: On the pitch, I didn’t hear anything, I was too far and this is why I only saw him arguing with a South Korean player and nothing else.

Santos has been in charge of Portugal since 2014 and coached Portugal to a European championship in 2016 with Ronaldo carrying the side to the final against host France. Ronaldo was hurt early in the final and had to be substituted, but Portugal still managed to upset France, who went on to win the World Cup two years later.

“It’s what I’ve been doing my entire life. I’m OK with myself, I have no problem. I stay with my conscience. Maybe after the match I reflect on it that I might have taken a different decision, but it’s been like this since I arrived in 2014. I only think about what’s good for Portugal and the national team, and the topic is done, we sorted it out internally.”

“But I don’t know anything. It’s his decision, it’s his matter, not ours. Cristiano is 100% focused on the World Cup and on helping the team. That’s his focus right now — about other situations, I don’t know anything.”SPAIN GETS HOMEWORK “It says a lot about each player. It’s trainable, manageable, how you manage the tension,” Enrique said. “It’s increasingly less luck, the goalkeepers have more influence. We have a very good goalkeeper, any of the three can do very well in this situation. Every time we finish training, I see a lot of players taking penalties.”MOROCCO LOOK FOR ANOTHER UPSET

In order to put themselves in a position where a win against Canada would put them through, Morocco had to defeat Belgium in its previous game.
