Hamburg –
Portugal will fight French in the quarterfinals Euro 2024. Is Cristiano Ronaldo will be ‘carried’ again?
Portugal will play a tough match in the last eight of Euro 2024. France will be their opponent at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, Saturday (6/7/2024).
Ahead of the match, Ronaldo is still in the spotlight. Because, the Selecao das Quinas captain has not scored a goal in the European Cup this time.
In the four matches played, CR7 has yet to find the net. He failed to convert a penalty into a goal, except in the penalty shootout when beating Slovenia in the last 16.
In fact, many people hope Cristiano Ronaldo can lift performance Portugal at Euro 2024. Moreover, at Al Nassr last season, he was able to score 50 goals throughout the season.
Sam Allardyce, believes that Ronaldo can no longer be relied on by Portugal this time. In fact, he said that Ronaldo is the one Portugal must help at Euro 2024.
“Given the talent Portugal have in their squad, I thought they were pretty disappointing,” Allardyce said, on William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ podcast, No Tippy Tappy Football, as reported by DAZN.
“They have so much talent and so much ability on the ball, but they have to carry Ronaldo now. Although he is still very fit for his age, he doesn’t have the same energy levels anymore. Other players have to carry him, and they are good enough to do that, but he is still not scoring goals.”
“Roberto Martinez will not be brave enough to put aside Ronaldo. When I was at Bolton, I had to go to Youri Djorkaeff, the World Cup winner, and tell him that I thought his legs were giving out. He didn’t take it well, and it wasn’t easy for the manager either. It’s a difficult thing for a manager in that position.”
“I think Ronaldo’s tears were mainly due to what he wanted to achieve personally, not because of Portugal as a team,” he explained.
“At his level, you have to be selfish. But where he’s not doing anything but for himself was at the World Cup yesterday, when he went all out and ignored everyone when they went out. He’s passionate and wants to win. He never really played a part when they won the Euros in 2016 so he wants to win this for himself and for his country,” Allardyce said.
