After Portugal’s jubilant victory over Switzerland in the 1/8 round of the 2022 World Cup, the most mentioned name was Goncalo Ramos, not Ronaldo.
Coach Fernando Santos surprised all football fans when he `put` superstar Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench before the match against Switzerland in the 1/8 round of World Cup 2022. And it is even more remarkable when the person is chosen.
Goncalo Ramos just experienced one of the most unforgettable days of his life.
However, Ronaldo’s `stuntman` in a sublime day of competition really took up all the glory at Lusail Stadium this morning.
So, who is Goncalo Ramos that can make even a superstar with a top name like Cristiano Ronaldo `overshadow` him?
Goncalo Ramos’s full name is Goncalo Matias Ramos, born on June 20, 2001 and is currently the main striker of Benfica Club.

And immediately, Goncalo won the hearts of many `Eagle` fans with his killer instinct.
It was Ramos’ sublime legs that made coach Fernando Santos pay attention.
Before being called up to the national team, Goncalo Ramos also played quite prominently in the U19 and U21 colors of Portugal.
Of course, he can only be a `secondary double` for the number 1 star of Europe’s Selecao at this time – Cristiano Ronaldo when he joins the team.
However, the incident of CR7 being `loud` with players from the land of kimchi caused coach Fernando Santos to completely lose faith in his star student. Accordingly, one of the bold decisions
While Ronaldo only had 1 goal after 3 matches at the 2022 World Cup, Goncalo Ramos scored 3 goals in just 1 match.
However, it was the `madness` of one of Portugal’s greatest football tactical `brains` that really worked.
After today, the name Goncalo Ramos will definitely be prominent in the mass media.
Mr. Fernando Santos’ bold decision may help the future of the football world welcome another superstar.
However, no matter what the future results are, the 1/8 round of the 2022 World Cup will definitely be a very special memory for him.
