CR7 development
One still wonders if Ronaldo is the ideal man to lead the Portuguese attack in big games like this. The Al-Nassr striker has demonstrated his ability to mark against less well-classified teams, but some will say that the former Real Madrid player is more an obstacle than an asset for Portugal, while he approaches the last moments of his brilliant career. The future will tell us.
It remains to be seen how long Ronaldo will remain an essential holder in the starting eleven of Roberto Martinez, but before the return match, Ronaldo insisted that he would always favor the collective ambitions of Portugal to individual ambitions. “If I do not score and someone else's brand, I don't care”, he said. “” If Portugal has to win and I do not play, I immediately sign, I warn the coach and I do not play. I will defend these colors until death. »»
