Experience definitely matters in sports and football is not an exception. Take a look at the Olympic Games there is a space for older player to be included by each nation just to add experience to younger players. A team filled without experience easily run into crisis. Real Madrid were actually considering allowing Luka Modric to leave this summer but opted against it when there option to stay Toni Kroos choose to retire. Modric was already wanted by some various clubs like inter Milan which shows that the player could still have remained in Europe even if he had to leave Madrid, that’s how important he is still his.

Concerning a team experience matters a lot because during period of downs it is this experience players that the younger players look up to. The issue of Ronaldo mention is a good example, when Ronaldo missed the penalty he became emotional and that was his nature but the ability of him to get back and take the first plenty is what character showcase. In moments like that a younger player will have definitely succumbed to failure and wouldn’t be able to take the next one that will leave other players in fear. We could see when Ronaldo missed the spot kick many of the other players went upto him with talks about the team needing him to stand up to the challenge, that’s what having an experienced player in the squad means, he leads in terms of difficulty

I fully agree with you that experience matters a lot in sports like football. Olympic Games show this where older players help younger ones. Real Madrid kept Luka Modric because he is valuable even if he is older. Experienced players like Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo lead and guide team when things get tough. They inspire younger players to keep going. When Ronaldo missed penalty he did not give up. He took next one with confidence showing his experience and strength. Experienced players help teams stay strong during difficult times and encourage their teammates to keep pushing forward. They are important for building strong team that can win.

Ronaldo is an extraordinary player. He is almost 40 years old and stayed on the field for 120 minutes and tried to do his best. There are rare players in football who can perform like this at this age and that's why Ronaldo is special and will remain special. Ronaldo Jr. He will almost be on the field in the same team with Grin

It is a great chance for Portugal. I also agree that older players motivate younger players. Young players may be demoralizing, but older players will bring them back into the game.
