His interviews are embarrassing. It costs nothing to admit that over the years, you pushed each other to greatness and keep it so.
It is okay to accept that you crave something you've not been able to achieve, and that you would give it a last push and see what happens. It doesn't take away the greatness of your career. Nobody can take away your legacy.
When Messi didn’t get a red card against Algeria, we didn’t see pundits and retired footballers coming out to talk about it.
Their balls only becomes active when it’s Cristiano Ronaldo bcos he’s the only one they can milk clout from.
Even when Messi missed a crucial penalty at Copa America, they lost to Chile, fought with the CONMEBOL & threatened to retire from football, Argentine FA & his teammates protected him.
Even when he gave that Champions League's speech, years after, no player has dragged him for it.
Ronaldo's teammates have been disrespecting him at major tournaments.
First, it was Bruno Fernandes in Qatar & now, Joao Neves.
Can’t lie this is very embarrassing for Neymar & Brazil, players like Joao Pedro are wasting away at home while they brought an unfit player to the World Cup
Our fathers are not perfect. They lived their own lives. You have to observe them, learn from them, take the positive and discard the negative. Every man is responsible for his own life.
Some people drink because they saw their father drinking. Some people don't drink because they saw their father drinking.
What you make of your upbringing and environment, is entirely up to you. The next generation should be better than the former. That is the whole point of education - to know how to think.
Actually, children are not to emulate their fathers. They are to learn from the strengths and weaknesses, wins and losses and the spot-ons and mistakes of their fathers, build on them and use those lessons in forging their own paths.
They are different. They are NOT their fathers.
Last tweet on Ronaldo today 😂😂
Portugal win a game: “It’s a team effort, it’s not about Ronaldo, he should not post himself alone.
Portugal lose a game: “Ronaldo is too old, he needs to retire. He’s slowing the team down.”
Look at yourselves. No let agenda finish you 😂😂
The media is running the exact same script they used at the 2022 World Cup before the game against Morocco, recycling narratives because it is easier to scapegoat Ronaldo than to read a tactical board.
They claim he needs to step aside, yet they never name who is actually ready to step up and carry the tactical weight.
Ronaldo should step aside for who? Goncalo ramos? That played yesterday game and had two touches?
They quickly forget that when Portugal’s back was against the wall in the Nations League, who rallied them? it was CR7 who dragged them forward. He scored against Spain from a cross that we couldn’t get from yesterday game.
The draw against DR Congo wasn't a striker problem; it was a structural failure.
The midfield choked the supply line, stringing together empty sideways passes instead of dropping vertical balls into the box. I no even undertand if some of Una no dey watch ball.
When the delivery actually functions, Ronaldo commands the attention of multiple center backs, destabilizing the defensive shape and carving open spaces for the wingers to exploit.
That’s what Leao, Neto and Even Bruno should have capitalized on, but no they wanted to be Tiki Taka boys. And since when did Portugal started passing ball? Portugal has always been an amazing counter attack team.
But regardless, Write off the squad if you want, but this team will adjust against Uzbekistan. Then more relaxed against Columbia.
The path hasn't changed Ronaldo is still lifting the World Cup.
