According to Portugal coach Santos, Ronaldo is not a distraction.

 At the pre-game press conference on Wednesday, Santos stated that this topic had not even been considered. At no point, not even from him, has this subject come up. According to Santos, the team is prepared and in good shape face Ghana, who “will bring us a lot of issues,” according to Xinhua.

“The Ghanaian team is really well-organized. That was evident in their matchup with Switzerland. African teams are talented, unpredictable, and continually hone their tactical skills. Today’s teams are much more complete, he continued. Santos stated, “I believe we have the ability to fight for this goal. ” This was another indication of his ambition and desire to win the World Cup. We wish to greatly delight the Portuguese people.

Later on Thursday, Portugal will play Ghana in a Group H match.
