Midfielder Bruno Fernandes said Monday that the goal of the first goal in Portugal’s 2-0 win over Uruguay was to serve Cristiano Ronaldo, but he ended up seeing the goal awarded to him.
“I celebrated the goal as if it were Cristiano’s [Ronaldo]It seemed to me that I had touched the ball, because my objective was the center for him, but regardless of that, we are happy for the team’s victory, mark one or mark another”, he explained, in statements to RTP, in the flash interview of the end of the game of the second day of the group stage of the Russia 2022 World Cup.
The Portuguese eight highlighted the importance of goals for forwards, highlighting the case of the Portuguese captain, considering him “a man looking for the goal”, like “Gonçalo [Ramos]as well as for Andre [Silva]as for Raphael [Leão]is Juan [Félix]”, but he concluded that the important thing in this match was the “objective achieved, which was to move on to the next phase” of the competition.
