Ronaldo is already old, he should retire from the national team and give way to younger players, the guy has already achieved everything in Europe, I don't understand why someone who has already achieved everything in Europe and is very old is competing with newcomers or others players on the national team are the closest and there is not even a day for him to retire, which means he will play in the world cup, this could demotivate other younger players who are in Ronaldo's position, because these younger players will be sitting on the bench
But if you look at the way Cristiano Ronaldo plays then you will understand that he even plays more effectively than the young players there. I'm sure the Portuguese coach understands the situation of the Portuguese national team better. And I think he was called there because he deserved it. Not only is Cristiano Ronaldo old there but he still plays. but there is also Pepe who is even older than Cristiano Ronaldo. And if you see how Pepe plays at the back then you will understand that he is still a better defender than some of the young defenders that Portugal has.
Let's just see in the next world cup and at the next Euro when Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe are no longer in the Portugal team. And maybe that's when we will be able to judge whether Portugal can really be better at that time. For now I prefer to see Portugal play with these two old players. Although I would also prefer that players like Joao felix should be given time to play too. but I'm sure Felix will get his chance. Because after all, this is the last Euro for Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe. And I want to see these two play one last time at the Euros.
