Qatar World Cup third quarter-finals broke out, and Portugal team led by Ronaldo lost 0-1 to Morocco, becoming the first African team to enter the semi-finals of the World Cup. Ronaldo came on as a substitute in the game but was unable to make up for the day. After the game, he returned to the locker room crying.
Other Portuguese players were interviewed after the game, and they pointed the finger at the referee. Pepe said in an interview: "After the Messi angrily criticized the referee yesterday, today we arranged the Argentine referee in this game, which is unacceptable."
In the early morning of yesterday, the Argentine team and the Netherlands fought fiercely for 120 minutes into the penalty shootout. During the game, the Spanish referee presented a total of 17 yellow cards, cutting the game to pieces. After the game, Messi angrily criticized the referee, saying that FIFA should not arrange referees who cannot complete the task in such a level of events.
In today's European Portugal team against Africa's Morocco team, a referee from Argentina in South America was used. FIFA's arrangement is understandable. But the Argentine referee made Pepe unhappy. He continued: "I'm not saying this is not possible, but what did we play in the second half? Nothing is! Their goalkeeper always delays time, but only 8 minutes of stoppage time."
also holds the same viewpoint. B Fee . He said in an interview: "We knew before the start of the World Cup that there were no Portuguese referees in this competition, but there were Argentine referees. This is unacceptable. It's strange anyway."
Objectively speaking, in this game, there was nothing to blame for the performance of the Argentine referees in today's game, at least much better than the referees who played against the Netherlands yesterday. However, Pepe finally added in : I bet that Argentina will definitely win the championship.
