From a traditional European derby and an Atlantic-flavored duel, the last two teams we’ll see in the semi-finals will emerge. world Cup Qatar

OUR Portugal with the surprise of the organization, amazing Moroccotoday’s open program at 17:00, where the former revolve around Cristiano Ronaldo willy-nilly, and the North Africans stay true to their plan and hope they continue in the tournament.

Fernando Santos tried to put an end to the conversation around CR7, who took a clear stance yesterday in favor of his player regarding the reaction of the 37-year-old star following his decision not to start against Switzerland.

The Portuguese coach admitted that he informed Ronaldo about his decision not to put him in the starting lineup, that Cristiano did not accept him, but did not react in any way …

“The conversation with Cristiano took place, it would be a shame if he did not exist. He is the captain, he is who he is with his visibility and he gave a lot to Portuguese football … I explained to him the reasons why I did not expect him to play in the beginning, he was not happy, that was normal, but he never once told me that he wanted to leave the national team. As Felix said, there is no better proof than what he did in the game. Leave Ronaldo alone, he doesn’t deserve this for all he has done for Portuguese football,” the coach of the Iberian national team concluded.

His former Real Madrid teammate was defended by Mesut Özil, who tweeted that the reason there is so much buzz around his name is because of the need to “click”.

At the same time, the Moroccans have no such problems. The rally is equally important for both players and fans, and among the thousands of fans that will be in the stadium today will be AEK ace Nordin Amrabat, who will support his brother Sofian.

At 21.00 Anglo-French duel steals the spotlight. Predictions and judgments in the English media have also created a climate between the two rivals, with Tricolor goalkeeper Hugo Joris being the most typical problem, who the English see as the French weak link. “They have an opinion and they will get an answer on the field. The most important thing is to stay committed to the game,” he said.

Rio Ferdinand stressed that England needs to find a way to stop Kylian Mbappe. “If we can find a way to stop him, then we can stop all of France,” the veteran ace said, singling out Walker to take on the Frenchman in a sprint.
