Before taking Ronaldo down in the box, Lochoshvili should have been sent off for seven seconds of grabbing and pulling his shirt. Portugal should have been awarded a penalty.
Instead, Ronaldo was shown a yellow card for his outburst when he signaled that his shirt was tugged by the referee.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to dominate! The captain of Portugal’s national team will start against Georgia, but Roberto Martinez is hesitant to “reactivate” CR7 in preparation for the knockout stage of the European Championship.
It was speculated if Ronaldo would play in Portugal’s last group match against Georgia, despite the fact that they had already qualified for the Euro 2024 round of 16 thanks to their victories over Turkey and Czechia. Nonetheless, Martinez, the manager, has stated categorically that the experienced forward will start.“I cаn sаy thаt tоmоrrоw the cаptаin will be in the stаrting eleven,” the ex-Evertоn mаnаger declаred in his pre-mаtch press cоnference. He hаd а reаlly cоnsistent seаsоn, stаrting every gаme аnd lоgging а tоn оf minutes; nоnetheless, I dоn’t think it’s а gооd ideа tо rest fоr six dаys befоre resuming his cоmpetitive rоutine, sо it’s cruciаl thаt he plаys. The stаrting eleven includes the cаptаin аnd Diоgо Cоstа, аmоng оthers.Six unidentified individuals broke stadium security during the Selecao’s 3-0 victory over Turkey by trying to grab photographs with the Al-Nassr star. In the future, UEFA will take strong action against any supporters who attempt to obtain access to the pitch, and they are currently working on enhancing security.
Martinez continued, “As for the invasions, he [Ronaldo] is an experienced player, he has been with the national team for over 20 years, he knows the support well, and the fans are not just the national team, but football fans.” This was in response to the question of pitch invasions.
“I hope there are no invasions because it is dangerous, it is not good for the image of football and it is not a part of the game that we want to see.”
