The Portuguese national team faced criticism after an uncontested 1:1 draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the start of the World Cup. However, according to the words of the secretary of the Diogu Dalo, the leaders of the national team, even before the start of the tournament, discussed in detail the possible reaction of the community and prepared for the information pressure.

Dalo defended the team and his star partner, explaining that the reaction of social measures did not come as a surprise to them. Behind these words, the presence of a football player of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo automatically increases the level of criticism and, obviously, the intensity of criticism.

“We are rarely able to talk in detail about social measures and criticism before arriving at the World Championships. We may have told you what will happen. Of course, if you have such a warehouse, especially with such a gravel as Cristiano, we are supposed to prepare a little more, call for it,” - Rospov Dalot.

The manager of Manchester United said that the very last training team lost its draft after the first loss of a point in the tournament:.

“Those who held this ceremony before the world championship meant that when it really happened, we were able to convey the message: We knew that we would face difficulties and criticism. Sometimes unfair, sometimes untruthful, and often overblown."

This Tuesday Portugal will team up with national team Uzbekistan in an important Group K match. Dogu Dalot expressed his absolute gratitude for the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is under pressure and will help the team continue the fight for the coveted World Cup.

" There may be over 20 years until the appearance of the national team. This criticism is just part of the game, especially the doctor’s account of the largest-scale fraud in the world.

The joy that he instills in us, and in us, has always been the same and will always be the same. As long as he represents the national team, I think that he will once again achieve this status and will be ready to lose,” Dalo concluded..
