The coach of Portugal, Fernando Santos, was naturally satisfied with the deep tennis victory against Switzerland, which qualified his team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but insisted that one must be very careful in the next match.
“It was a good performance, a great game, the players are to be congratulated. Now it is necessary to get down to earth. It was wonderful, excellent, but we still have three matches, one in four days”, – initially said the Portuguese coach in the flash interview for RTP.
Asked what prompted him to start the young Ramos ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Santos repeated what he had said before the match:
“The characteristics of the game, they are different players. Dalot also came in, Cancelo left, it has to do with what I thought about the dynamics of the game. Problem? I already answered this question. No problem, we have been friends for many years. Everything is completely fixed and he set the example of a true captain.”
