🚨Carlo Ancelotti on Cristiano Ronaldo criticism after the DR Congo match:
🗣️ “Every time Portugal fail to win comfortably, the first thing people do is point at Cristiano Ronaldo. It has become predictable, lazy, and honestly quite embarrassing to watch.”
“People talk about Ronaldo as if he is the reason Portugal dropped points, but nobody wants to talk about what actually happened on the pitch. How many clear chances did Portugal create for him? How many times was he given the kind of service elite strikers depend on?”
“A striker cannot score opportunities that do not exist. Football has always worked like that. Yet somehow when it comes to Cristiano, people expect him to create the chance, finish the chance, and win the match all by himself.”
“I see people talking as if Portugal would suddenly become a better team the moment Ronaldo disappears. I have heard that argument for years. The funny thing is that Portugal are still having the exact same conversations every single tournament.”
“What amazes me is that opponents still fear Ronaldo more than almost any player on the pitch. Defenders still follow him everywhere. Entire defensive structures still adjust because of his movement. But apparently some people think he has no influence on games.”
“The obsession with blaming him has reached a ridiculous level. Some fans no longer watch Portugal matches to support Portugal. They watch hoping Ronaldo has a bad game so they can spend the next week talking about it.”
“Cristiano Ronaldo is 41 years old and people still expect him to carry every attack, score every goal, and rescue every performance. Then when that doesn't happen, they act as if he is the problem instead of asking questions about the players around him.”
“If Portugal want to win the World Cup, the solution is not spending every day debating Cristiano Ronaldo. The solution is for the rest of the team to start taking responsibility when moments become difficult.”
“Because what I saw against DR Congo was not a team being held back by Ronaldo. I saw a team that expected Ronaldo to solve problems that should have been solved collectively.”
“And the day people stop obsessing over Cristiano Ronaldo and start analysing Portugal honestly is the day the conversation finally becomes serious.”
