Cristiano Ronaldo not being able to play a role for his team, I don't think that's it. It's not surprising that his not been delivering on the job as expected and by that, I mean the goal scoring but, his still very much a leader and the hope of the Portuguese team as he has always been.
I was thinking maybe that Christiano Ronaldo was reserving all the energy to showcase himself in this world compition and this was why he couldn't perform since the beginning of the premier league season, but I'm yet to see that in action. So I do believe that after some of their games, the team realized the need to start building a new team without Ronaldo , So this is what you can see from the entire Portugal team performance.
We also have to realize that now is the last time for Ronaldo and the thought of Regeneration, especially giving more flying hours for young players is actually very good.
We're just making it look like only Ronaldo is there although I have to be aware that the center of Portugal is still Ronaldo but at the moment it's not just Ronaldo who is struggling.
His form has dropped and that is a fact because at his age it is a bit difficult to carry a big burden but just having him on the pitch is enough to motivate some of their younger players.
