Against Switzerland, Ferrando Santos boldly put Cron on the bench, resulting in a 6-1 win and won applause. This time against Morocco, Fernando Santos did the same thing, but the result is very different. Portugal faced the tight defense of this African team, looking like a rat pulling a tortoise, there is no way to start, especially in the first half of the organization can not be attacked, and often can only rely on the long passes, there is no threat to speak of.
As a result, Portugal played their 5th match this year and failed to score for the first time, reflecting that Ferrando Santos is not adaptable and has no strategy against Morocco, who is good at defending, so it is no wonder that most people think that he has to take the biggest responsibility for the team's exit.
