BTW, there is a plan from the Portugal coach not to play Ronaldo against Switzerland. It looks like the coach will make a mistake if he doesn't play Ronaldo in this match.

Santos is one of the most underrated coaches of our time (or the last decade). And yesterday his plan worked great. I think it was not to change Ronaldo at the end, but to do the opposite, release him after the first half, and start the game at a high pace with high pressure. Who knew that the pressure would be so successful and that Switzerland would not be ready for high speeds. As a result, Ronaldo was released into the phase of the game when it was actually completed and Portugal played to keep the score. I think in the game with Morocco he will be in the first team.

CR7 has a bad attitude towards the others which leads him to be sanctioned in a way or another. There was some tensions between him and the staff but it was resolved tho. I am not sure if he will be picked to play vs Morocco since the beginning but I am pretty sure that he will not play full-time.

Apart from that, it looks like Ronaldo will be resting if see the level of difficulty of opponents Portugal will face in the coming days. But I'm sure Ronaldo's contribution will be need in the semifinals if Portugal manages to win over Morocco.
By the way, how will Ronaldo's career at the club continue? The last time I saw a team from Portugal was also interested in Cristiano Ronaldo.
