I cannot believe that people still think that Ronaldo was mistreated after it happened with 4 different managers. He was benched back in Juventus, he was benched by whoever that interim manager was last year in United, he was benched by Erik Tan Hag, and he was benched by Portugal manager, that's four different managers that managed to bench him.

Do we really think that he is still not doing what he supposed to do and just accept the fact that he is a bench player for high level teams? He will be hard to call up for euro 2024 if you ask me, dude would be nearing 40 by that time, and you think he would be any good by that time? I highly doubt that.

I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.

I'm not so sure. He is a great player but younger players are coming and they will probably take up his spot soon. He is 37 now and in two years it's questionable how will he perform.

you are right that young players will replace old players, this is not Ronaldo's problem why not play maybe because his performance has decreased compared to young players, old players like Ronaldo and other old players should also be aware of that and be prepared to be replaced, as before of course ronaldo used to be a young player replacing previous players who were retired and old, so i think people need to face the reality of that even though it's bitter

Well, what we can intuit from them is the following, CR7 is a very influential person in the Portugal team, everyone talks about Bruno, but he is only for me as a skydiver, he is nobody compared to CR7, so this is the type of the players are very ungrateful to him, they forgot that thanks to CR7 they are the Euro champions, so where is the management of CR7? I think it would be great if Mou could be the technical director of Portugal, because I'm sure he would keep CR7 and possibly lead the team to be one of the best in Europe, so they don't suffer in qualifying or anything. With a technician like Moyu they wouldn't have any problems.

Mou does not want CR7 to leave, he wants to count on him for both the Euro and the next World Cup

mourinho will not coach portugal, mourinho knows that leaving roma to train in portugal is much more likely to destroy his reputation and it would not be an easy task to lead portugal to win things, and mourinho is a coach who likes to win things, when he joins a team he wants to be given all the resources so he can win things, in italy rome is very confident that mourinho will stay as coach of roma

Roma director confident Mourinho will not leave for Portugal job

"When you get a coach like Mourinho, you must be accustomed to rumours," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"This was the first time in 18 months that a club or a federation were interested in him. We had no distractions at our training camp in the Algarve, we were only focused on work.

"I am Portuguese and every time we change coach, Mourinho is mentioned, but we count on him for the future."

I believe that a soccer player when he is 35-37 years old should not retire if he considers that he still has a lot to do. what to give, because then it would be frustrating, for me what CR7 is doing is very good, I know people say that age is a number, but we cannot forget the experience he has, he is also a star

attacking players usually retire between 32 and 39 years old, that's because coaches don't care much that an attacking player over 30 years old ignores the defense and stays only in the attack as long as that player is scoring goals, the problem of ronaldo is right here, he doesn't have the same speed as before, the same dribbling as before and he doesn't score many goals anymore, just see that he can even spend many games without even scoring 1 goal, that's not a good thing for a 37-year-old striker, he no longer has the qualities to play for the big European clubs

Messi with his 36 -37 years old, he won a world cup, he did not know what banking was in the World Cup, just like Luka Modric and they led their countries to the top, in Portugal Fernando Santos failed.

Messi is 35 years old, in addition messi has a quality that ronaldo and many players do not have, messi is not just a striker like ronaldo or mbappe or haaland or benzema or lewandowski, messi manages to coordinate all the teams by occupying various positions on the field and doing this task better that the players of that position

It is very interesting, in everything you say you are right, of course now everyone focuses on what CR7 did, they believe that he has buried his career, but in part I do not see it that way, the hostile ways they treated him at Man United, I think that anyone loses the desire to be in Europe, despite the fact that he is a person who is not very affected by what they say about him, here Messi already has a victory that CR7 has not been able to achieve If CR7 arrives in Portugal at the age of 41 and is in the national team, it would be a great feat, but if he arrives, I think he will have it very clear, and it is to win the World Cup no matter what, I would like to see those players again stars in the next world cup, personally I don't like how Mbappé plays, he has a very different style from many players, I prefer the style of Messi, CR7, and with the style of Ronaldo and Zidane, I think those are the players They have given more to talk about in their time, of course we cannot leave Pelé aside.

It's a pity about Mou, I didn't know that he had made that decision, I hope that a good coach arrives in Portugal, without any kind of prejudice and leaves the players who do best, even if it means leaving out a CR7.
