🚨Thierry Henry Blasts Ronaldo After World Cup Horror Show
🗣️: "People are afraid to say it because of Cristiano Ronaldo's status in the game, but Portugal looked worse with him on the pitch. He missed chances, kept finding himself offside and offered very little in terms of overall play.
If Portugal genuinely want to win this World Cup, they have to make a ruthless decision and leave Ronaldo on the bench. Football isn't about reputation; it's about what you can contribute right now. Based on what we've seen, Ronaldo is no longer helping this team.
Then you look at Messi. He scores a hat-trick and suddenly every player around him looks like a world-class footballer. That's what the very greatest do. They raise the level of everyone else. Ronaldo doesn't do that anymore. In fact, he has become a problem Portugal have to work around rather than a solution they can rely on.
The difference is simple: Messi makes football easier for his teammates. Ronaldo makes it harder. If Portugal keep starting him because of his name, they can forget about lifting the World Cup."
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.
He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today.
Debe de ser durísimo para Mbappé y Haaland estando en la élite del fútbol y en su plenitud física darse cuenta que el señor de casi 39 años de vacaciones en Estados Unidos sigue siendo mejor jugador de fútbol que ellos
