Portugal manager, Fernando Santos has called Cristiano Ronaldo a “football genius” after the Juventus striker scored three goals against Switzerland yesternight.
Ronaldo’s hat-trick took Portugal into the final of the competition and Santos has said good things about him.
His words, “In terms of adjectives to describe Ronaldo’s game – I’ve used many. I was his coach in 2003 and I could see where he’d go,” he said, via UEFA.
“He’s a genius. There’s genius paintings and sculptures and he’s a football genius.”
“When someone scores three goals, they are the difference maker. It was tough game, it was well played – two sides who are very strong, playing to win,”
“They’re strategically well organised, changing their formation. Their players know what they have to do on the pitch, limiting some of the gaps we’d thought about.”
