🚨 Bruno Fernandes on Cristiano Ronaldo’s disallowed goal for Portugal against Wales: 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “I still don’t understand it. “I saw Cristiano’s run and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I waited for the moment, played the pass and he timed his movement perfectly. “He gets in behind the defenders, and suddenly you have a 41-year-old man sprinting into the space like a young striker, getting there before the goalkeeper and finishing the chance. “It was a beautiful goal. “We celebrated it. Everyone thought it counted. “Then, a few minutes later, we were told it was offside. “I stood there watching the screen, waiting for the line. I wanted to understand exactly what they had seen. “They told us his foot was a metre offside. “Okay. “But then I looked at the defender’s shoulder, because that is the part you have to consider as well, and I couldn’t understand why that part of the body wasn’t being shown properly in the replay. “That is what frustrated me. “If you are going to draw the line, draw it properly. Show us the whole picture. “Because from where I was standing, Cristiano timed that run perfectly. “And honestly, we could have won that game by more than one goal. “Cristiano could have had number 980 tonight. “He deserved that moment. “But sometimes football gives you these decisions that make you stand there and question everything you were taught about the rules. “We are told VAR is there to give us clarity. “So when a decision comes back and nobody on the pitch understands what was actually wrong with the goal, of course you are going to ask questions. “I’m not saying every decision has to go our way. “That’s football. “But if you take away a goal, show us clearly why you took it away. “Because Cristiano did the hard part. “He made the run. “I found him. “He finished it. “We celebrated it. “And then suddenly, the goal disappeared. Maybe number 980 has to wait. But I still believe that goal deserved to stay on the scoreboard.” [ Source @UTD_Seth001 ]#portugal #ronaldo #brunofernandes #creatorsearchinsights #capcut - @anyi.manchester.u
