In an interview with the media following Portugal's exit from the World Cup in the last eight, President Sousa consoled his players by saying that the loss was just bad luck, and he also suggested that star Laurent Cron should not be involved in the next edition of the tournament, seemingly hinting at the 37-year-old striker's imminent exit.

Sousa regretted the result of this game, he said: we always have some days in life is not good, this day is unlucky day, Morocco performance is more efficient, they only 2, 3 chances to score a goal, we have 5, 6 chances, but failed to be converted into a goal, the Moroccan goalkeeper repeatedly save the ball, we are unlucky, the foot wind is not good.
However, Sousa agrees that Morocco deserved to win: Morocco proved that they are a great team with their actions, they performed more efficiently and deserved the victory, or some people may criticize Portugal for their poor performance and improper tactics, but it is worth pondering whether these criticisms are correct or not, we have to appreciate the team's achievements this year, and we have to support the team leader, Ferrando Santos, who is supposed to be out of the World Cup, and we will forget his contribution. Some of the players in the team should not participate in the next World Cup, such as Cron, we will not forget his contribution.
Although it is generally believed that Cron is the last time to play in the World Cup, but he is known for his tenacity, has always maintained good physical condition, once revealed that he wanted to play until the age of 40, the former.

Fitness coach Mike Chillar even said that Cron can play until he is 41 years old, and it is still unknown whether he will not be able to play in the next World Cup as Sousa said.
