In open conflict with his coach Fernando Santos, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo is now, as well as a day after he was knocked out of the starting XI for the match against Switzerland, the 37-year-old Portuguese superstar. Yesterday he refused to train with the substitutes, just three days before the quarter-finals with Morocco.

After breaking with Manchester United and turning down a trip to Saudi Arabia, despite the astronomical amount he was offered, CR7 can’t seem to curb his ego, which is so fueled by his inner circle (typical of her posts about his partner and sister who ask him not to tolerate those who do not honor him) as well as from the unprecedented demand of the fans the day before yesterday in Lusail to come on as a substitute, as he did.

Santos appeared in his statements unclear about Ronaldo’s future in the national team and is likely to leave him on the bench again.

Of course, anyone who has Ronaldo also has … grief, and those who do not have it, and in particular the Spanish selector Luis Enrique, have a lot of troubles …

Ronaldo refused to train with spares – Luis Enrique under steam.

Morocco’s shock elimination put the Spanish coach under the spotlight of the press in his country for a team without ideas that “1,000 assists weren’t enough to win”, according to Marca. The players of the Barcelona national team did not escape the arrows of the Madrid press, the first of which was captain Sergio Busquets.

It has already been calculated that Luis Enrique will soon be a thing of the past, with Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain’s National Hope, being the most likely successor.

On the other hand, Moroccan celebrations continued into the morning, both inside and outside the borders, causing many European cities to resound with the cries of Moroccan immigrants – in some cases in episodes, as in Brussels. Together, the Arab world celebrated its first participation in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and even Queen Rania of Jordan congratulated the Moroccans.

The Moroccans, with their previous victory over Belgium, also ended Eden Hazard’s career in favor of the Red Devils. The 31-year-old striker, who was left without a ball in this year’s competition, announced yesterday that he was leaving the national team, thanking those who supported him.
