The selection of Portugal closed the phase of groups of the Eurocopa 2024 with a hard defeat in front of Georgia. Hard no by the result, but by the feelings left by the directed by Roberto Martínez on thefield . The Spanish trainer gave rest to varied of the usual headlines of the 'Seleçao give Quinas', but Cristiano Ronaldo went back to go out from the start and has been one of the main aims of the criticisms after the poor performance showed in front of the georgianos.
Luis Mateus, editor boss of the prestigious daily 'To Ball' of Portugal, has written a very hard column against 'CR7' in the newspaper luso, to which titled "Roberto Martínez left tie by Cristiano". "There was not logical explanation for the titularity of the captain of the Seleçao in front of Georgia", affirmed in an article that continuous with criticisms very severe to Roberto Martínez and to the own goleador.
"There was not any reason to justify his third titularity in a party that does not interest to anybody more than to him same and to his collection of records or, possibly, to a rotten peace that keeps to the majority of the more or less happy people, without enfurruñarse", commented. "It could have resolved with Joãor Félix like false 9", gives like solution.
Mateus Continued his plea ensuring that "I do not have any doubt that Ronaldo is special and need to be managed of another way, but the fact that no could him give rest in a party that was almost only says a lot of the difficulties that will have the seleccionador to impose if it needs to do it when it was more serious. The situation of Ronaldo always will bring the image of Eden Hazard dragging the feet in Qatar until the current seleccionador Portuguese wake up at last, perhaps too late. Although it was a bit unfair for the Portuguese player, does not leave to be far of this reality".
Ronaldo conditions to the instrumented
The journalist concluded his critical sostiendo that Martínez is committing the same error that ex trainer of Portugal, Fernando Santos. "What Martínez is saying to the group is precisely what said Fernando Santos, although in his case used words. For him, Cristiano always would play. Until it left to play. The Spanish does not say it, but goes by the same way. Anybody has to be intocable and all the places have to be in the scales", argued, in addition to adding that Cristiano removes him solutions to the team and conditions him too much.
