After this match, coach Roberto Martinez sent a series of players back to the club such as Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Joao Palhinha, Nelson Semedo, Toti Gomes, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes and Goncalo Ramos. Instead, this coach recalled famous player Ronaldo to lead the home team in the next friendly match against Slovenia.
However, Ronaldo’s return cannot help the Portuguese team maintain their winning record. Coach Roberto Martinez’s team created about 10 scoring opportunities, of which Ronaldo had 2 opportunities, but they could not convert the opportunities into goals.
The Slovenian team played with determination, got scoring opportunities from players Adam Cerin and Timi Elsnik in the second half and scored in the 72nd and 80th minutes to convincingly defeat the Portuguese team.
After the match, Ronaldo expressed his displeasure when he rushed onto the field to harshly react to the referees. According to the Daily Mail (UK): “This is a common action of Ronaldo recently whenever he fails when playing for Al Nassr Club. In this match, Ronaldo hardly participated in the ball action. He spent too much time looking for fouls and complaining to the referee rather than wanting to make a difference in the match.”
With Ronaldo, it is clear that the Portuguese team is heading to EURO 2024 with a lot of doubt, the Daily Mail said.
