Sharing Gonçalo polemic bursting branches: “The status of being the best”

Gonçalo Ramos returned this Sunday to be decisive, in the service of the main selection of Portugal, by scoring, to the passage of the 79 minutes of play, the goal that ensured an important triumph over Norway, in the Dragon Stadium, by 2-1, and consequent clearance for the final rooms of the League of Nations.

By the end of the night, the A.C. Milan advance (where he is acting under the orders of fellow countryman Ruben Amorim) would again give that speech, even for totally different reasons. More specifically, by sharing, on social network Instagram, a publication by the sports commentator Luís Freitas Lobo on his performance, under the caption: “The status of being the best”.

Now, the statute is precisely the expression that the national selector, Jorge Jesus, has repeatedly used to explain the controversy surrounding the abandonment of Cristiano Ronaldo, as happened, moreover, at the press conference that followed the final whistle for the duel of the fourth day of the League of Nations group phase.

“Chris just doesn’t go back to the selection if he doesn’t want to. You don't put it on me. The theme that happened between me and him was hasty. There were a lot of people who got into the case that made this look like a problem, that had no problem at all. A coach put a player, and he is different with status, warming and did not enter gave this problem ", started by affirming.

“ Do you think that's a reason for the symbol that Cris is, to end up like this one way for the other? I want him to be. He knows it's gonna end, this doesn't last forever, but I'd like him to end up in the selection as he wants. He'll decide. That's how we talked. At the first call I told him ‘I need you’. Playing or not playing, I need you”, he concluded.

“ From the beginning, I always showed that I was present”

Gonçalo Ramos took advantage of the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo to cement himself as the main reference of the attack in Portugal, including three goals and an assistance in the last three games, as holder. After the last attempt, before Norway, in Sport TV's quick interviews area, he himself did not hide satisfaction.

“ From the beginning, I always showed that I was there, even when I left the bank. It's part of football and the position I was in earlier. I have worked very hard and continue to work to demonstrate my value (...). It is a pride and a demonstration of my work and, above all, the quality we have as a team ", said.

“ We have created many opportunities and, as a spearhead, I enjoy the quality I have around me. The goal is to win all the games, but we are in a phase of adaptation to the ideas of the new master. And without having much time to train, we use the games to improve, and this has been seen in these four games”, he added.

Speaking of the latest shot, he praised the role of John Felix, the author of the audience: “I always try to thank those who pass me the goal. There are many players in that position of João who could have marked or pretended not to see me there. He was careful to pass me the ball.”.
