Conceicao: We’re Not Obliged to Pass to Ronaldo
Portugal winger Francisco Conceicao has dismissed suggestions that teammates feel forced to feed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo after a disappointing draw with DR Congo that saw Ronaldo touch the ball just 25 times. Speaking ahead of their critical World Cup group match against Uzbekistan, Conceicao said: “There is no need or obligation to pass to him. I pass to whoever is best unmarked.” He stressed that Ronaldo’s relentless hunger and work ethic remain an inspiration for the squad. Conceicao urged the team to bounce back quickly as they look to secure victory and keep their campaign on track. Portugal will face Colombia on June 28 to round off their group stage fixtures.
