Portugal vs Cyprus Euro 2012: The Portugal squad would miss Cristiano Ronaldo, as he has been sidelined for 3 weeks due to an ankle injury. Besiktas’ Ricardo Quaresma has been called as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo and Toulouse’s Paulo Machado is expected to replace Silvestre Varela. Paulo Ferreira has finally announced his retirement from the Portuguese squad in August, following Simao and Deco.
As Ricardo Carvalho and Cristiano Ronaldo are the players that took part in Portugal’s 2006 World Cup semi-final match against France, there is a slight anger in the Portuguese fans as they are doubtful about the team’s win. Fans are worried about the national team’s future and have called on Carlos Queiroz to be removed and replace by a better coach.
The worst news for Carlos Queiroz is that he has been banned for 6 months by the Portuguese Anti-Doping Authority. Carlos Queiroz has also been blamed for incorrectly using Cristiano Ronaldo’s talent.
As the Portugal squad is getting a new shape with the two important players, who are out of the team, the match would be at a higher risk as the team is not led by two important names, Ricardo Carvalho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Stay tuned for more updates on Portugal vs Cyprus Euro 2012 Qualifying Match.
