Meanwhile, Treshaar Ranaldo has been a controversy magnet throughout this World Cup and remains the talking point ahead of Portugal's big quarter final clash against Morocco later today. But head coach Fernando Santos has told people to leave him alone. For the first time in recent memory, a fit and available Ranaldo was dropped to the bench for the game against the Swiss. The possibility of such a move had been in the works after the manager Santos admitted that he wasn't happy with Ranaldo's act of fesulence after being replaced in the first round-flash against South Korea. Ranaldo's replacement Gonzalo Hamos scored a hat trick and is now tipped to start against the Atlas lines on Saturday. This Spanish publication, Marka reported that Ranaldo did not train with substitutes on Wednesday and they were also cleansed off a walk-out threat. Ranaldo and the Portugal Football Federation both rubbish those reports, saying that Ranaldo and Portugal remain focused on the World Cup. And head coach Santos now has a simple message for everyone. Listen. I think it's high time for you to leave Ranaldo alone and acknowledge what he has done for Portuguese football. Portugal might have steam rolled post Switzerland but Morocco will surely pose them with a tough or challenge. This Morocco side is a very, very strong team. Even in offensive positions, players in the very best leagues, therefore to think this is going to be an easy match for Portugal, it won't be. I was actually remembering the 2018 World Cup, possibly the most difficult match that Portugal had. We won one nil but we had to suffer a lot to win that match so my players know that. They know what this opponent will offer us, how competent they are and therefore we have to go onto the pitch with the same joy, the same happiness as we have done without fear in that sense of the word. Morocco have already achieved what only three African teams have managed to before them, reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Not just our Morocco carrying the hopes of an entire continent, they have struck a core in the Muslim world with this being the first World Cup to be held in an Arab country. More than 50,000 Moroccan fans are expected to be in Doha for Saturday's game and Portugal fans will be in minority inside the Al-Thumama Stadium. And history awaits Morocco as they aim to become the first African team to reach the World Cup semi-finals. But it's a super challenge, we have nothing to lose. Today the challenge is to retire the same players and if we pass, there will be no one who can talk more about this game if we can do it because we only have big games. We have not yet a much easier game, but we want to show that Africa is present, that Morocco is present, that today we will be a new World Cup football player, which is internationalized, that we will now invite people, we also have good players, we also have a generation that we are, and we have a little behind us and we have a continent more behind us today. In addition, as we have said, since we have added a little bit the Arab world, it makes a lot of behind us, it gives us this energy that will allow us to break this
