According to Portuguese defender Jose Fonte, the absence of Ronaldo spurs the Portuguese team to play “more as a team”. This comes after Ronaldo was dropped from the team in their round of 16 match against Switzerland, where his substitute Goncalo Ramos scored a hat-trick on the day of his debut, signalling that Ronaldo may continue to be absent from the starting eleven. According to Fonte, the Portuguese team has the quality to perform at the same level in each game. However, due to Ronaldo’s abilities and record, players must unconsciously and automatically pass the ball to him. Conversely, in his absence, Portugal plays as a team, without a focal point, leading to more concerted “fluid” performances like the 6-1 victory over Switzerland, with contributions from everyone.

However, according to Fonte, Ronaldo would be an asset if incorporated into a team later in the match as well, and it would add pressure on the opponents, by giving rise to a very strong offence. Under Santos’ training, the team have developed a strong mentality, and an enhanced ability to train together and Ronaldo would provide the extra push needed for Portugal to finally win their long-awaited World Cup.
