"We don't talk about what's going on with Ronaldo"

Portual boss Fernando Santos denied that they are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo's contract being ended, and added that not even the player is talking about it.

Santos, while accompanied by Bruno Fernandes, spoke to the press before their first game in the World Cup against Ghana.

The match's build-up, just like Portugal's whole World Cup, has been plagued by Ronaldo, who announced the end of his contract with Manchester United this Tuesday.

"We haven't talked about it together, not even he has spoken about it. What's important is that the players are convinced about what they need to do, of what their objectives are", Santos made clear.

"What we want is to give the Portuguese people something to enjoy, that's our goal. Everything else comes second", the manager said.
