Paris: Jurulatih Portugal, Fernando Santos, mengelak untuk mengulas prestasi Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fernando Santos
Ronaldo gagal menyempurnakan sepakan penalti pada pertemuan yang menyaksikan Portugal seri 0-0 dengan Austria, awal pagi tadi.
Apabila ditanya bagaimana kapten di bilik persalinan berikutan kegagalan penalti minit ke-79, Santos berkata: “Saya enggan cakap mengenai subjek ini.
“Saya tidak mahu komen mengenai prestasi pemain.
Ronaldo's pursuit of scoring in four straight European Championships continues after his goalless night against Austria
“Memanglah keputusan ini seolah-olah tak adil. Tapi, tak guna untuk berbincang mengenainya.”
Ronaldo jelas begitu kecewa dalam usahanya untuk mendapatkan jaringan sebagai pemain pertama mencipta rekod pada penampilan keempat di kejohanan sama.
Kekecewaanya bertambah parah apabila Portugal masih mencari kemenangan dalam persaingan Kumpulan F.
Naib juara Euro 2004 itu kini berkongsi mata dengan Iceland dan berada dua tangga dari Hungary yang kini menduduki slot teratas Kumpulan F.
Kedua-dua pasukan itu akan bertemu di Stade de Lyon, 12 tengah malam, Khamis ini.
Komen Fernando Santos
“We're going through a tough time right now but we need to switch tack immediately. We can't wallow in despair right now, that cannot happen.
“We can't concentrate on what chances we missed and how many chances we missed.
"We have to build on the positives and put it all together in the next game. This is our first 'final' of the Euros."
"The game against Iceland wasn't great but it was okay, enough to win.
"If we'd won it would have been a major step forward and today was another very positive match.
"We hit the post in each half and that's it, the end result. Stats are worth nothing, fair or not, it's a moot point.
"We need to play the next match and win it because that will make the team grow and that's what it needs right now."
