Cristiano Ronaldo has every possible ingredient for success with Portugal, yet he still fails.
- He has the best playmaker in the world, Bruno Fernandez.
- He has Nuno Mendes, the best left-back in the world.
- He has João Cancelo, the best attacking full-back in the world.
- He has Rafael Leão, one of the best left wingers in the world.
- He has Vitinha, the best midfielder in the world according to his fans.
- He has João Neves, the second-best midfielder in the world according to his fans.
This is a team that only lacks a true legend like Messi to win trophies, nothing more. The amount of attacking quality in this squad is frightening. If Pelé or Maradona had access to this level of talent around them, they would have won 100 World Cups for their countries, unlike the completely finished Ronaldo.
Não era o arranque que queríamos, mas isto está longe de ter acabado. Cabeça levantada e foco no próximo jogo.
