On June 26, Portugal will face Georgia in the final round of Group F of the European Championship. Ahead of the game, Portugal coach Martinez gave an interview, saying he would not rotate Ronaldo in this game.
In the first two rounds, Portugal reversed Czech Republic 2-1 and beat Turkey 3-0. The team has already secured first place in the group one round ahead of schedule. The game against Georgia in the last round has lost its meaning.
Despite this, Portugal coach Martinez still said that the team will not rotate Ronaldo in this game: “Ronaldo will continue to start in this game. He is a very good player, he has been performing consistently throughout the season and has played a lot of games. We should let him keep his game rhythm, if we stop him now and let him play again in six days, it’s not a good idea. Now I haven’t considered the knockout stage, we first need to consider the game against Georgia.”
