Joao Felix has insisted that Portugal 's tactics at the World Cup won't change - with or without Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old superstar was controversially benched by manager Fernando Santos for their last-16 tie against Switzerland on Tuesday after the Portuguese boss took issue with how his captain reacted to being substituted in their previous match. It proved to be the right decision, as Ronaldo's replacement, Goncalo Ramos, scored a sublime hat-trick in a resounding 5-1 victory.
Ramos lead the line far more effectively than Ronaldo had done during the group stage, as Portugal showed off an attractive brand of football in the emphatic win. Now Santos faces the conundrum again ahead of Saturday's quarter-final clash with Morocco, but one of his other forwards, Felix, doesn't think that Portugal will change their approach if Ronaldo was to return.
