“Portugal has an obligation to beat South Korea. Ronaldo is the leader who will not allow a draw or defeat” – Portuguese journalist

The Portuguese national team will not lose points in the World Cup match with the South Korean team thanks to its leader Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the Portuguese journalist of the Record Sports Daily Flavio Miquel Silva.

The Portuguese in Group H of the 2022 World Cup defeated the teams of Ghana (3:2) and Uruguay (2:0) and guaranteed themselves a ticket to the 1/8 finals of the tournament. On account of the team of South Korea one point, the team takes third place in the group.

– You don’t have to go to a fortuneteller to understand the obvious thing: today against South Korea, the Portuguese will not have five or six players of the main squad. In addition, Otavio, Danilo and Nuno Mendes are injured.

Even with this line-up, I hope Portugal will be the only European team to win three wins in three group stage matches. Belgium and Germany crashed out, while the French won only the first two rounds.

Such a strong Portugal is obliged to beat South Korea. Cristiano Ronaldo is our leader who will not allow a draw or defeat against the Koreans, Silva told Sport24.

Matches South Korea – Portugal and Ghana – Uruguay will be held on Friday, starting at 18:00 Moscow time.
