Cristiano Ronaldo is currently experiencing the most difficult days in his rich career. He parted ways with Manchester United and currently does not have a club (he denied the agreement with Al Nassr), but he is also dissatisfied with the Portuguese national team. Although in many respects he is the national team’s record holder, his teammates reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar without him, demolishing Switzerland 6:1. For that match, Ronaldo found himself in the role of a reserve player for the national team for the first time since the 2008 European Championship. Back then the opponent was also Switzerland, and in the meantime, Portugal played 31 matches with Ronaldo in the starting line-up.Cristiano Ronaldo in Training Today 📷! pic.twitter.com/YYmxrowHxk— TCR.

It is not yet known if Ronaldo act in agreement with the coach or he decided on his own how to train, but considering that his replacement, Gonzalo Ramos, scored a hat-trick against Switzerland, and the team played the best match since arriving in Qatar, it is a big question if Cristiano Ronaldo will return to the starting line-up for Saturday’s duel with Morocco (18.00) in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
