Nobody expected Ronaldo to be on the bench, but it worked. The result is the only thing that matters. The decision will be good or bad depending on the result. Ronaldo has played at a high level for a long time, and it's only natural for young players to take over. Portugal will have a difficult game against Morocco, but at the same time our football is different from that of Spain.

The match Morocco vs Portugal will take place on December 10 at 18:00 GMT+3. In the previous match of the Portuguese team against Switzerland (6-1), Ronaldo remained in reserve, and appeared on the field only in the second half, without giving any assists or scoring goals.
