I don't have to talk to Cristiano – Santos letting Ronaldo enjoy a holiday
Cristiano Ronaldo needs a break before the World Cup, Portugal coach Fernando Santos said.
Portugal mentor Fernando Santos demanded he had no compelling reason to call Cristiano Ronaldo, rather electing to give his star a chance to appreciate a merited break before the World Cup.
After a long battle with Real Madrid that incorporated a third straight Champions League title, Ronaldo is on vacation in front of Russia 2018.
Santos said he had no plans to reach the 33-year-old genius, trusting the forward returns in great condition.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is on vacation," he said. "I won't trouble Cristiano by calling him, after a spell where he's invested so much exertion and is worn out. I don't need to converse with Cristiano.
"Ideally he can have an awesome occasion and he can return great condition. That is the vital thing."
