Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal fight, here's what Liverpool offer him

Fernando Santos, Portugal's national team coach, told a news conference that he was "not at all happy" with Cristiano Ronaldo's gesture at the end of the Portuguese team's group game against South Korea. However, he also made it clear that the matter is now settled. A video of Cristiano leaving the field against the South Koreans went viral, as he was seen saying: "You're in such a hurry to come on as a substitute.

And when the striker was questioned about this he commented that the words were directed at an Asian player who was pressuring him to leave the pitch. Even Fernando Santos defended him, but his stance seems to have changed. "When the game was over, I went to the press conference. I repeat: on the pitch, I didn't hear anything, I was very far away and I only heard him arguing with the Korea player. Did I see the images afterwards? Yes. Did I like it? I didn't like it at all.

I really didn't like it at all. But after that, the problems are solved internally and it's time to think about tomorrow's game, which we are all focused on," the coach explained at a press conference at the Qatar National Convention Centre. The Group H match ended in a 2-1 win for Korea over Portugal, with both countries advancing to the Round of 16. This afternoon, Brazil eliminated the Asians 4-1; tomorrow Portugal will face Switzerland.

"Let's split this answer in two," Santos said when asked about video footage that appeared to show Ronaldo criticising the decision to substitute him. "Just after the game I spoke in the lightning interview, then I went to the press conference and there I said something that I will repeat here: on the pitch I didn't hear anything. I was too far away. Have I seen the video? Yes. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. From then on, these are things that you resolve internally. It was resolved this way, and now we're thinking about tomorrow's game. Everybody is focused on the game.

It would be a media signing

Liverpool know that Ronaldo's arrival at Anfield would be a huge media signing, and having the living legend of the Red Devil's fierce rivals in their dressing room would be a blow to Manchester United, who failed to value the experience and talent Ronaldo could give them in his second spell, which lasted more than a year.
