Portugal boss supported Cristiano Ronaldo questioned: it's sad! At 45, he doesn't leave

On Wednesday, Portugal national team manager Roberto Martinez revealed his reasons for continuing to recruit Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Portuguese fans did not buy it and criticized his decision.

Roberto Martínez's first decision after becoming the manager of the Portuguese national team was to continue to recruit veterans like Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, and his decision also caused great controversy.

After announcing the June squad, Martinez once again revealed the reasons for calling up Cristiano Ronaldo, "It is impossible to make such a decision in the office, the most important thing is to make it on the pitch. ”

"For Ronaldo, he is not ready to leave the national team. He also wants to play and wants to be part of the new cycle, so getting him back to the national team in March is an easy decision to make. ”

"The first thing you have to consider is their form, he scored four goals, he is the real leader, he is our captain, he is a player with a lot of experience that no other player in the world has. He's a player who can play 200 times and he still plays a huge role in the dressing room. ”

At the World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo lost his main position and fell out with old coach Santos. Judging by the age of Pepe and Ronaldo and the reality of the Portuguese national team's replacement, Martinez should have made the decision to abandon the two.

On the message board of the newspaper Record, Portuguese fans continued to criticise Martinez, "If you don't see this period of coaching as your cycle, then it's too short. As long as Ronaldo still wants to play for the national team, as long as he scores some goals against Luxembourg and Liechtenstein and continues to improve the record, then he will continue to be called up to the national team, even if he is 45 years old and still plays in the Malaysian league. ”

'There's nothing wrong with calling up Cristiano Ronaldo into the national team, but the problem is that if you don't let him play or replace him early, he'll be furious.

"He will be called up to the national team as long as he wants. It's easy for him to score a few goals, but the player who should be on the bench can only stay. You are another person who only promises, so sad. ”
