@FcDallasChelsea@gphi0711@Asensii20 You are just making shit up, pls show me one clip, where they had a good cross and Ronaldo didn’t challenge it. Please just one
@GeekinBall@gphi0711@Asensii20 watch the game back they crossed the ball plenty. Ronaldo refused to challenge for them. Says a lot that neves is arriving better in the box than him
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.
He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today.
@GeekinBall@mason_covelli@IcyVert Idk look at what Neymar did for Brasil or what Messi did for Argentina pre Scaloni. that's what I'd wanna see a top attacker doing with a substandard team around him. Even if Brasil weren't winning titles Neymar was still creating for those around him.
@PTagpro@mason_covelli@IcyVert He didn’t do bad for how bad that team was, saying Ronaldo is a deadweight when he doesn’t score goals is honestly not watching football or you hate him. They put a great fight vs the team that won the whole thing in that wc
@GeekinBall@mason_covelli@IcyVert not wrong tbh, but even accounting for that Ronaldo at least should've done better. He's great when he's scoring goals but he should've focused on his non-scoring abilities. If he's not scoring he's deadweight
@PTagpro@mason_covelli@IcyVert You didn’t read my comment, Ronaldo has literally talked about not knowing how to play the 9 then transitioning to it. From 2016 onward he played as a striker.
@GeekinBall@mason_covelli@IcyVert No, what I'm saying is Queiroz when he was managing the Portugal team actually tried Ronaldo at 9. It sucked because teams just clamped him down and just denied him supply and access to the ball. And he didn't have the creative instinct to go false 9 like a Totti or a Messi would
@gphi0711@Asensii20 Bruno wouldn’t move the last line by trying to receive the ball closer to the midfield, wtf is Ronaldo supposed to do with 2 dudes on top of him at all time. That midfield lacked creativity and spontaneity. Not to mention Bruno Fernandes is an absolute bum when he plays for pt
@Asensii20 Horrible game plan by the midfield trio. Literally no game plan on the attack. Ronaldo just stood there waiting for a cross. No decisive movement at all
@PTagpro@mason_covelli@IcyVert Queiroz was a fucking dumbass for even trying that in 2010 with how much space Ronaldo created on the wing, but tbh he didn’t have many options that team was dogshit
@GeekinBall@mason_covelli@IcyVert Explain using an actual rebuttal and tactical analysis and not memes. There is a reason Queiroz decided Hugo Almeida, Helder Postiga, and Liedson of all players were better options at 9 than Cristiano Ronaldo.
@UmeChukwuemeka@realmadriden@BernardoCSilva I understand what you’re trying to say. I just don’t think at the level he is in rn that is going to be a lot to be considered leadership but we’ll see
@GeekinBall@realmadriden@BernardoCSilva "He will bring timing to the game and controlling the pace a bit more" that's leadership in the midfield my brother.
@UmeChukwuemeka@realmadriden@BernardoCSilva Don’t really see him as a leader at all, he will bring timing to the game and controlling the pace a bit more, and he’s a lefty.
@GeekinBall@realmadriden@BernardoCSilva But you can't take away leadership in that midfield from him. And that's something Real Madrid lacked after Kroos and Modric left.
