Portugal's Conceição Denies Pressure to Pass to Ronaldo

New York. Despite criticism surrounding Portugal winger Francisco Conceição's performance in the first World Cup match, he clarified that there is no pressure on the team's players to pass the ball only to star striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

After the match against DR Congo ended in a 1-1 draw, critics questioned whether 41-year-old Ronaldo's declining on-field mobility was affecting Portugal's chances.
