Fernando Santos became Beşiktaş coach.
The Portuguese coach made a statement when asked about Cristiano Ronaldo at the press conference.
HERE ARE SANTOS’ WORDS:
It was a tactical and technical decision. There was no other situation. For me, strategic decisions are always the most important element. I had to make these decisions and I made them correctly. If we had not been eliminated, this issue would not have been talked about so much and there would not have been such a problem.
Since we were eliminated from the cup, there was more discussion and talk about why Ronaldo did not play.
