Cristiano Ronaldo may be suspended for 1 game! The Portuguese Football Association personally "pleads for mercy", the coach: This is not an act of violence

After Ronaldo left the field in red, the media revealed that the Portuguese Football Association would negotiate with FIFA and request that Ronaldo be suspended for only one game. Portugal coach Martinez said at the pre-match press conference against Armenia, "If Ronaldo is suspended for a long time because of this, it will be very unfair."

In the game against Ireland, Ronaldo elbowed O'Shea and was sent off with a red card. According to FIFA rules, Ronaldo may be suspended for 3 games, which means that if Portugal directly advances to the World Cup, Ronaldo will miss the first 2 group matches of the World Cup.

"Bulletin" revealed that Portuguese Football Association Chairman Proenza will negotiate with FIFA and request that Ronaldo be suspended for only one game. The Portuguese Football Association believes that in an away game, the Irish coach’s pre-match remarks and the opponent’s obvious pulling actions led to Ronaldo’s final elbow strike. The most important point is that this is the first time in Ronaldo’s national team career that FIFA will impose penalties at the end of this month or early December.

Martinez proved this, "Cristiano Ronaldo only reacted to a provocation from his opponent, and he encountered provocations from the pre-match press conference to the game. He just wanted to continue playing. This was not an act of violence, and he should not get a red card for violent acts. We need to try our best to state this and be fully prepared. If Ronaldo is suspended for a long time because of this, it will be very unfair."

When asked about Ronaldo's red card, Bruno Fernandez said, "At a moment like this, Ronaldo paid dearly for his reaction. He knew he shouldn't have done it, but it happened anyway. He knew he made a mistake, and unfortunately, he won't be able to help us tomorrow. We were already at a disadvantage and he made it even more difficult for us to deal with because we only have 10 players left and one less player who can score at any time."
