He will not play in the Nations League match against Italy, but Cristiano Ronaldo was still a topic of discussion for Portugal CT Fernando Santos at the press conference leading up to tomorrow's match in Lisbon. Three games and zero goals for the ex-Real Madrid star in Serie A, but Santos does not have doubts on CR7's future in his new league: "Wait and see how many goals CR7 will score in Italy."
The Portugal CT also spoke on the upcoming match against Italy: "The Azzurri did not play at the World Cup, but it will still be a difficult match. I hope that there will be great support from our fans, as there always is. Mancini's squad changed against Poland once Chiesa replaced Balotelli: they changed the way they played, we must stay attentive," concluded Fernando Santos.
